UPEI Climate Lab – new tool

The University of Prince Edward Island’s climate lab says it has a new tool to help people visualize coastal erosion. The university says it has an updated version of a video game that allows people to fly over P-E-I, raise and lower sea levels, and click on-and-off coastal erosion rates. It says the game combines available coastal survey data, historical records, and predictive climate change models, allowing people to explore past changes and what the future looks like. In 2014, the video game won a prize from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for communicating coastal risk and resilience, and it also won the 2014 Murray Pinchuk Community Builder Award.
