In a technology innovation talk about sea level rise, coastal geologist Mark Borrelli outlines how his team has developed an innovative mapping tool that can tell a community precisely where "street-by-street" flood waters and surging tides will flow. The Storm Tide Pathways method, already rolling out in other communities, is easy enough for anyone to use anywhere.

Borrelli is director of The Coastal Processes and Ecosystems Laboratory, which is a joint research effort between the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown and the University of Massachusetts Boston.
