Infrastructure, infrastructure protection, aging bridges and tunnels

As the U.S. debates whether and how to invest in its infrastructure, a lot is at stake, said Mariette diChristina, dean of the College of Communication at Boston University. “Infrastructure is built to last for decades sometimes even a hundred years or more so what we decide to do today will have a large effect on how things go tomorrow, including how we adapt to or mitigate climate change in the future.” The buckled roads and melted power cables caused by recent record heat in the Pacific Northwest were the latest illustration of the types of hazards posed to infrastructure by climate change and its extremes.
