using salt migration as an education tool

 

NYRP FloodLAB develops a conceptual framework for an adaptive landscape, ecology center, and boathouse ready to respond to storm surge and migrating levels of salinity in Manhattan. The project proposes a dynamic environment to empirically study New York City's changing relationship between land and sea. The proposal allows visitors to visualize our changing coast and its effects on plant and animal communities and offers citizen scientists the ability to contribute to a databank on sea level rise.

In collaboration with Desai Chia Architecture, ARUP, Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, Stuart-Lynn Company, and William Vitacco Associates.
