Episode 2 NEER: Nearshore breakwaters and unintended consequences

 

Coastal scientist Britt Raubenheimer describes NEER’s data reconnaissance missions before, during, and after Hurricane Laura, which struck southwestern Louisiana in 2020. NEER data revealed that breakwater structures could slow storm-surge inundation – but then they would also retain floodwaters passing through it, significantly slowing recovery of the shoreland marsh.

NEER: Rompeolas cercanos a la costa y consecuencias imprevistas

 

El científico costero Britt Raubenheimer describe las misiones de reconocimiento de datos del NEER antes, durante y después del huracán Laura, que azotó el suroeste de Luisiana en 2020.

Los datos del NEER revelaron que las estructuras de rompeolas podían ralentizar las inundaciones provocadas por las tormentas, pero también retendrían las aguas de crecida que las atravesaran, lo que ralentizaría considerablemente la recuperación de las marismas costeras.
