@WarrenJWells Highly recommend visiting and staying in Delft if you can! Would be a ~20min detour from the Hague by bike and has tons of that small city Dutch charm. Also home to @modacitylife who do a better job than me sharing the bike-centric benefits of life in Delft.
I am thrilled to share that as Arup's resilience and adaptation lead, I had the privilege of working with WRT and partners to develop the San Francisco Bay Trail Risk Assessment and Adaptation Prioritization Plan (RAAPP). This plan analyzed 50+ miles of s…https://t.co/CUu6mKo5Dt
@WarrenJWells Amazing work advocating for and coordinating on this @WarrenJWells. Given the creek frontage and tidal influence in this area, curious if designs are accounting for sea level rise? If so, how much and does it match design life of the path?
Seriously excellent podcast/journalism by @99piorg. Helpful history explaining why I loved living in Delft + bike-centric lifestyle so much. Inspired to keep pushing for bike infra and safety in Marin. @WarrenJWells@marinbike@modacitylife https://t.co/YCmoiwlyLW
@RebeccaSolnit Exactly. This is the project that opened my eyes to this problem back when I was the hydraulic engineer modeling breaches for the Army Corps levee improvement project (early 2010s). Been advocating for equity-weighted BCA ever since.
@RebeccaSolnit Major spending on adaptation still relies on a traditional benefit-cost analysis approach that exacerbates inequities (protecting richer communities generates more "benefits" than protecting poorer communities). Alternative approaches (equity-weighted BCA) missing a spotlight.
Our team on the west coast will soon have some exciting coastal resilience + nature-based solutions work to share publicly but in the meantime, check out what David Dack and his team in Australasia are up to in this space. I'm happy to say that those of u…https://t.co/27QzFAEZOe
@modacitylife It is also great how 'construction work' on these streets often involves a small crew with rubber mallets and hand tools compared to jackhammers and heavy equipment. Makes for a much better soundscape in city areas.
I really enjoyed talking about sea level rise adaptation with American Society of Civil Engineers for this article in their Civil Engineering magazine. Of course sitting across from my colleague @VincentLeePE for this and hearing about his work with Spong…https://t.co/kdOyxaZSit
Happy World Water Day! I will always be grateful for The Netherland-America Foundation and the Fulbright program for supporting me in the year that I spent at Delft University of Technology studying climate adaptation and coastal flood risk. This year all…https://t.co/PSyHsYZrtR
New Weather West post on the upcoming strong and warm "Pineapple Express"-type #AtmosphericRiver storm inbound into NorCal--including what to expect (and what NOT to expect). This will be different than the Dec-Jan storm sequence. #CAwx#CAwater https://t.co/W0TH8WIZTC
