During hurricanes, storm surge events can cause more damage to coastal areas than wind. WFSU visits the SUSTAIN Lab at the University of Miami where scientists combine engineering and ecology as they work to protect vulnerable communities from deadly waves. Find this segment and more on WFSU's Ecology Blog at the link in our bio. This segment was funded by a grant from PBS | NOVA and produced in conjunction with NOVA's Weathering the Future. Weathering the Future premieres on Wednesday, April 12, at 9 p.m. ET on WFSU-TV and can be viewed anytime on WFSU Passport. #ClimateAcrossAmerica univmiami #Climatechange #stormsurge #extremeweather #hurricanes novapbs
