Berkeley Lab Climate Researcher Contributes to Two National Reports on Impacts of Climate Change on Transportation
WASHINGTON — According to a report issued this week by the National Research Council, climate change will affect every mode of transportation in the U.S. The greatest impact is expected to result from flooding of roads, railways, transit systems, and airport runways in coastal areas because of rising sea levels and surges brought on by more intense storms. Though the impacts of climate change will vary by region, it is certain they will be widespread and costly in human and economic terms, and will require significant changes in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems.
