The City of Miami Beach has become the epicenter for studying the effects of sea level rise.  This week, former Vice President Al Gore was in town for a climate change summit that coincided with dramatic flooding along the coast from Fort Lauderdale to Miami Beach thanks to the King Tide and Super Moon.  Florida International University has been a leading voice on this issue, presenting initiatives to report on the impact in Florida and beyond. We discuss being a “living lab” for the world and the latest web app from FIU to help residents visualize the possible impact of sea level rise.
