University of Miami engineering and ocean sciences faculty members received federal research funding recently to delve into how they can strengthen coastal buildings and seawalls in the face of climate change.
From a seawall that dissipates the energy of dangerous waves to goggles that diagnose eye diseases to a drone that can map thousands of acres in only days, the University of Miami is showcasing many of its high-tech projects at the two-day conference at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
