February 2024's topic is climate change and two films were screened for this edition of Global Frontiers. The 45-minute documentary Earthstorm (2022), in which storm chasers, survivors and first responders recount their harrowing experiences with hurricanes; and the short documentary High Tech Climate Change (2023), which explores the possibility of smart ideas contributing to saving our planet.
For this event, we were very fortunate to have a highly distinguished researcher from the University of Miami College of Engineering, Professor Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos, joining us. His work spans marine and coastal structures, building and infrastructure systems, and even space structures. Particularly relevant for South Florida and coastal communities worldwide is his focus on green/gray protective structures. The pilot installations he co-designed with local communities have garnered significant media attention.
