Climate Change and Coastal Resilience: Why Africa Must Redesign Its Coastline for the Storms of Tomorrow Part (III)

Future generations will not judge today’s engineers by the number of projects they delivered. They will judge them by whether those projects still function after the storms arrive. The climate has changed. The laws of physics have not. Engineering must now bridge the gap between the two. By Martin Mungwa, PE, PhD, F.ASCE Engineering with

Climate Change and Coastal Resilience: Why Africa Must Redesign Its Coastline for the Storms of Tomorrow. Part II

The objective is graceful transformation rather than catastrophic collapse. Critical Infrastructure Must Receive Special Protection. Not all infrastructure carries equal consequences when failure occurs. Some facilities become more important during disasters than during normal operations. Hospitals. Emergency operation centers. Ports. Airports. Electrical substations. Telecommunication hubs. Water treatment plants. Fuel storage facilities. By Martin Mungwa, PE,

Climate Change and Coastal Resilience: Why Africa Must Redesign Its Coastline for the Storms of Tomorrow. Engineering a Safer Future Through Storm-Hardening Design Standards Part (1)

The objective of modern engineering is not simply to ensure that infrastructure survives extreme weather. It is to ensure that infrastructure continues serving society during and immediately after extreme weather. That is the essence of resilience. By Martin Mungwa, PE, PhD, F.ASCEFellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers “Climate change has not changed the

A Cure at Last: What the Sickle Cell Breakthrough Means for Our People

Using advanced gene therapy, doctors take the patient’s own blood-forming cells and correct the faulty instruction that causes sickling. The repaired cells are returned to the body, where they begin producing healthy blood. Once this happens, the painful crises stop. Transfusions are no longer needed. Life resumes. By the Independentist Scientific Desk For generations, sickle
