Research Program Evaluates Rhine River Port Climate Resilience
A tri-national program titled 'Climate-Resilient Rhine Ports' has completed two research projects investigating the seven largest ports between Basel and Mannheim. Scientists and researchers identified risks and developed solutions to help Rhine ports adapt to climate change. In Strasbourg, the cruise ship terminal was modified with unsealed surfaces to improve rainwater drainage and lighter surfaces to reduce heat absorption. Port Director Volker Mollz stated that the Port of Kehl is resilient to flooding but remains vulnerable to storm surges and heavy rain.
