In the face of escalating climate change, coastal cities are grappling with the heightened frequency and intensity of major hurricanes. Addressing this imminent threat, researchers at MIT have developed an innovative method to predict and comprehend the intricate dynamics of compound flooding resulting from hurricanes in a warming climate. The approach not only considers traditional factors like storm surges and heavy rainfall but delves into the intricate interplay between these elements, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the risks posed to coastal communities.
