Civil and Environmental Engineering
Stefan Talke
Civil and environmental engineering Professor Stefan Talke and his colleagues recently published the article “Human Footprint on Estuarine Tidal Hydrodynamics” in Nature Geoscience. The research examines how human activity — such as channel deepening, dam construction and land reclamation — has significantly altered tidal dynamics across 25 major estuaries worldwide. In some locations, tidal range has more than doubled over the past century, increasing coastal communities’ vulnerability to extreme storms and flooding.
