Synthetic landscapes, capable to deal with coastal issues

Climate change and rising sea levels present immediate threats to humanity. The aim of this research is to design solutions that slow down the pace of land subsidence, absorb the impact brought by rising sea level, especially those exposed to the risk of coastal hazards. Incorporating a research through design approach while developing vegetative and water-based systems, and flexible/dynamic infrastructure that intervenes in the ecological corridor to respond to slowly occurring sea-level rise hazards and abrupt coastal hazards; improving the overall microclimate of the selected area. This research topic relates exclusively to water-related ecological corridor design which will be applied to coastal wetlands, ecological networks to mitigate the threats both from land subsidence and slowly rising sea level.
