The Science Behind Superstorms, Explained

Описание: Explores the evolving physics of hurricanes, as we reveal why future systems may be fewer in number but catastrophic in intensity. By extracting 3,000-year-old soil samples and utilizing high-velocity wind laboratories, scientists are uncovering how our shifting climate is stripping away the planet's natural defenses. From the crumbling barrier islands of the United States to the dying coral reefs of the Caribbean, we investigate whether human engineering can truly withstand 200 mph winds and 30-foot storm surges, or if the era of coastal civilization is reaching a breaking point.
