ClimateChangeasMovingTargetinEngineeringDesign

Applied to
Storm surge elevation standard determination for coastal residential development
Balancing with
Client cost preferences
Concrete expression
Engineer A treated storm surge risk as a dynamic condition informed by newly released data and a recently developed algorithm, rather than relying solely on historical static baselines, when determining the appropriate design standard for the coastal residential development
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
Historical weather patterns alone are insufficient; engineers must incorporate newly released data and updated algorithms that reflect evolving climate conditions when assessing coastal storm surge risk
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Coastal Risk Assessment
Tension resolution
Dynamic climate-informed assessment prevails over reliance on static historical baselines that may understate current risk
Source Evidence
Source text
The facts suggest that Engineer A's determination is based upon technical information—including newly released information as well as a recently developed algorithm that includes newly identified historic weather data.
Text references
Engineer A has determined, based on historical weather patterns and data, that the residential development project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation
The facts suggest that Engineer A's determination is based upon technical information—including newly released information as well as a recently developed algorithm that includes newly identified historic weather data.
