Climate Change is certainly a topic of concern to our government and society as a whole. As engineering professionals, it will fall on us to help manage the impacts of climate change on society, specifically on the infrastructure that society relies upon. Having said this, you assignment is to provide a brief written report including the following: 1. Name three potential negative impacts of climate change to the future reliability of infrastructure. Be sure to name specific impacts on specific types of infrastructure. 2. For each of the impacts identified, identify a mitigation technique that can be employed.
