What is dredging? NYC was built on dredge, and it will shape the future of cities all around the world as they adapt to climate impacts from sea-level rise.
Dredging - the mechanized transport of underwater sediments - is one of the most elemental of the infrastructural support systems that underlie modern societies. Through dredging, we act as geologic agents - moving earth in what amounts to a new geologic cycle. This video introduces dredging, its landscapes, and some of the fascinating technologies that we use to manage it. It was produced in support of DredgeFest NYC, a symposium on the human acceleration of sediments, to be held in New York City on September 28-29.”
Dredge is so important, a group of designers even created a fun conference dedicated to it: DredgeFest NYC 2012.
