Le Signal. Build 200 Metres from The Ocean. Demolished in 2023.

Lili Capucine Pineau

Abstract

Growing up near the ocean reveals the devastating, real-time reality of coastal erosion and sea-level rise, where familiar landscapes disappear and people are forced to abandon their homes. While adapting to these environmental shifts is crucial, smaller communities often lack the financial resources to hire large corporate firms for predictive climate forecasting. This presentation explores how the intersection of earth sciences, satellite technology, and artificial intelligence can democratize climate adaptation. By leveraging AI to model sea-level rise and coastal retreat, we can provide accessible, critical predictive solutions to the vulnerable communities that need them most. Finally, the talk will highlight the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach—combining tech with climate finance, law, and urban planning—to transform raw data into concrete, actionable resilience for our coastlines.
