Keeping Climate Impacts at Bay in Boston

Possible future impacts from climate change have prompted the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to develop a program to evaluate the vulnerability of the state's infrastructure. Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel is the subject of a data-driven project to assess its stability and evaluate future measures to increase resiliency. This article describes data collection, hydrodynamic analysis and mathematical modeling, and outlines the next steps for reviewing and implementing adaptation options.
