  • Ornes reveals that predicting when and where colossal rogue waves will strike is a matter of complex calculation. With climate change potentially whipping up more intense storms, some theoretical possibilities are becoming a serious practical concern. From 2009 to 2013, the EU funded a project called Extreme Seas, which brought shipbuilders together with academic researchers including Miguel Onorato, with the aim of producing boats with halls designed to better withstand rogue waves.
