http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Climate-AwareCoastalRiskAssessmentEngineer
Definition
A licensed professional engineering role in which an engineer is retained to perform hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment for development projects in areas subject to climate change and sea level rise, bearing obligations to apply newly released data and algorithms to determine appropriate storm surge design elevations, recommend protective design standards to protect public safety even in the absence of applicable building codes, and advise clients of the risks of proceeding at lower design standards when public safety is implicated.

Scope Note
[proethica-intermediate-extended] A licensed professional engineering role responsible for hydrodynamic modeling, coastal risk assessment, and infrastructure design in areas subject to climate-change-driven hydrological and storm surge risks, bearing obligations to evaluate future climate and weather conditions as a 'moving target' beyond historical datasets, recommend specialized analysis when significant public health and safety impacts are reasonably likely, disclose potential flooding impacts to affected communities and regulatory authorities, and withdraw from projects when clients refuse to authorize necessary protective evaluations or disclosures.
