Enemy on Island, Situation in Doubt
Author: Michael A. Melendez
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Air bases, American
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Wake Atoll and Wake Island Airfield are of great importance to US grand strategy in Asia and the Pacific. The island faces climate change related pressures to include rising tides, extreme heat, and increasingly intense cyclonic weather. The strategic benefits of a remote island in the Central Pacific Ocean outweigh the costs of investment in infrastructure projects required to adapt the island to climate change. This report addresses how climate change could impact Wake Island's role as a strategic airbase in the Pacific and what mitigation measures the US should employ to prevent the loss of this asset. This research report utilized a Problem/Solution framework and a qualitative methodology to address the impacts of climate change on Wake Island's strategic role in pursuing the United States Indo-Pacific Command's (INDOPACOM) strategic goals in the Pacific. This research report identified several risks of climate change, specifically: rising sea levels, coastal inundation, erosion and morphology of atolls, and extreme weather events. Subsequently, the research report reviewed potential investments in infrastructure and anti-coastal erosion projects that could slow the potential effects of climate change, as well as reviewed the impacts of divestment."--Abstract.
