Adam Fenech has spent 35 years spreading the message that climate change is coming. For the last 10 of those, he’s had an assistant named CLIVE helping out.
CLIVE, which stands for CoastaL Impacts Visualization Environment, allows Islanders to virtually fly over P.E.I. using a controller to raise and lower sea levels, showing them the future impact of coastal erosion.
The program was created in 2013 as a way to share research and projections of coastal erosion. The interactive format using the latest coastal imagery gathered by the province was the suggestion of some of Fenech’s students.
The director of the UPEI Climate Lab said the reaction from students during the first demonstrations of CLIVE was immediate.
