With global warming, the earth’s climate is experiencing unprecedented changes, exposing infrastructure and assets to unexpected environmental effects that impact their performance, durability and value. Design of new assets and infrastructure will also need to understand how to manage the risk posed by the unprecedented weather patterns brought about by climate change.

pitt&sherry can assist with:

• Assessments of impacts resulting from coastal erosion and inundation
• ClimateAsyst® is a visualisation tool linking the climate projection model data with supporting documentation. It assists infrastructure owners in identifying climate factors important in planning and design of future assets and the vulnerability of existing assets and services. Developed in partnership with the Antarctica Climate & Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre the tool incorporates high resolution climate projections on a 15 km scale grid in Tasmania, but is flexible to accommodate a range of model outputs Australia wide.
