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.
CLIVE is a joint project between UPEI’s Climate Research Lab and the Spatial Interface Lab at Simon Fraser University.

CLIVE, the coastal erosion visualization tool created by UPEI’s Climate Research Lab and the Spatial Interface Lab at Simon Fraser University, has taken first place in the Massachusetts Institute for Technology’s (MIT) Center for Collective Intelligence contest on Communicating Coastal Risk and Resilience.
Nearly 600 projects were submitted to MIT’s Climate CoLab for this year’s competition. CLIVE made it through several rounds of competition and broke through to the finals against two other projects. Through the support and votes from the UPEI community, CLIVE won the Popular Choice, as determined by online voting.
“I just want to say what a wonderful feeling it is that the UPEI community and campus were so supportive through the competition,” said Dr. Adam Fenech, Director of the UPEI Climate Lab. “To win because of the support of a community, that’s a nice feeling. I’ll not forget this.”
Dr. Fenech and members of his team will be travelling to Cambridge, Massachusetts to receive the award in early November.

Dr. Adam Fenech, director of UPEI’s Climate Research Lab, will tour Prince Edward Island communities in July to give demonstrations of CLIVE – better known as the CoastaL Impacts Visualization Environment tool.
This tool allows users to manipulate a 3-D map of Prince Edward Island with a video game controller and experience simulated erosion and sea-level rise and their impact on our infrastructure over the next 90 years.
Dr. Fenech will lead discussions about coastal erosion and sea-level rise, and the risk to homes, cottages, roads, and communities.
Attendees will be encouraged to share ideas about how we might best adapt to these conditions, and through CLIVE, view local areas that may be affected.
Demonstrations and discussions will be held at 8 locations across the island, as follows:
Tuesday, July 8 Victoria, the Old School House on Victoria Road
Wednesday, July 9 Souris, St. Mary’s Parish Hall
Tuesday, July 15 Abram-Village, Rec Centre
Thursday, July 17 Montague, Wellness Centre
Tuesday, July 22 North Rustico, Lion’s Club
Wednesday, July 23 Charlottetown, Beaconsfield Carriage House
Thursday, July 24 Summerside, Silver Fox Curling Club
Wednesday, July 30 Alberton, Community Centre
Each presentation will run from 7:00-8:00pm, with drinks and light refreshments provided.
The events are sponsored by the PEI Department of Environment, Labour and Justice, and by the Climate Research Lab at the University of Prince Edward Island.
