Dr. Adam Fenech, Director of UPEI’s Climate Research Lab, presented CLIVE, the coastal erosion visualization tool, during Climate Week in New York City, recently. Dr. Fenech’s talk was one of a series showcasing innovative tools and planning methodologies at the Rising Seas Summit: Developing Resources to Inform Decision Making and Planning for Resilience.

CLIVE is the Coastal Impacts Visualization Environment, a sea level rise and coastal erosion video game, which allows users to fly over Prince Edward Island raising and lowering the sea level and turning on/off coastal layers to identify areas of risk and vulnerability.
