Building bridges in Venice
How will this bridge be affected by global climate change
There are lots of water in Venice, so the bridge needs to be higher, otherwise it will be flooded sooner or later
Flooding has become one of the most important issues the Venice faces with sea level rising, global warming, land subsidence, and increased frequency of the yearly phenomenon, the Aqua Alta.
Landslides
Mudflows
Earthquakes
Land subsidence
Venice will sink within a century if global warming is not stalled.
The Mediterranean Sea is expected to rise by up to 140 centimeters in the next century.
What is the weather like with each season?
cold winter, hot summers
January LT: 3 celsius HT: 7 celsius
Warmest months: July/August
On average, HT: 30 Celsius
On average, LT: 24 Celsius
Winter days are cool and foggy
Summer days are hot and sultry
Temperature are mainly moderate, but are at the lowest times during winter
What is the location geography or topological structures?
No roads
Use boat as main transportation
Tons of water
Island is sinking, water is rising
Water displacement
No mountains or hills
There are no beaches near the sea
Many submerged reefs in the sea near Venice
Venice is located in the Venetian lagoon
The average depth of the lagoon is just 1.2 m.
As such the distance from the bottom to the top of the waters surrounding Venice is much closer to that of a puddle, rather than the sea or the ocean!
