| Video Discription | Dr. Klaus H. Jacob, one of TIME Magazine's People Who Mattered in 2012, spoke about his efforts to model the effects of a hypothetical coastal storm with a 100-year storm surge on New York City. Hurricane Sandy, which was very similar to the storm Dr. Jacob modeled, caused nearly the same effects that he had predicted. New York officials, aware of Dr. Jacob's research, proactively shut down the subway system and erected barriers at some locations to mitigate some of the worst effects of flooding. Dr. Jacob, who is a geophysicist and special research scientist at Columbia University, discussed his approach to modeling storm surge and transportation impacts, displaying many of the flood projection maps that were widely available in the popular media.
