Rendering of potential sea level rise impacts in Kakaʻako<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sea-level rise in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> is a potentially destructive reality that researchers say could trigger frequent inland flooding within the next 15 to 20 years. University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa Associate Professor Christina Gerhardt<\/strong> aims to heighten awareness about the impending future of climate change in Honolulu using art. She is launching an interactive walk and talk series called, HighWaterLine: Honolulu<\/em> where using a chalk liner, participants are able to visualize the future shoreline in Kakaʻako<\/span> expected due to sea-level rise.<\/p>\n

The four-day event is a part of national community art project, HighWaterLine<\/em> that pinpoints how climate change will impact coastal communities. The event has been featured in major cities like New York and Miami.<\/p>\n

Gerhardt is co-organizing the series on Oʻahu<\/span> with artist and geographer Adele Balderston. The free events will include three presentations and two community walks highlighting the historical flow of water through Kakaʻako<\/span>, flooding risks, watershed management and future development.<\/p>\n

All events are free and open to the public, beginning on December 12 and running through January 25. Organizers ask participants to RSVP<\/abbr>. Head to HighWaterLine: Honolulu<\/em><\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
