OS22A:
Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding II
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 35167
Session Description:
Although sea level rise is a global phenomenon, the impacts are local, and are happening now. Changes in sea level are impacting communities across the globe on an almost daily basis through increased erosion and subsidence, greater saltwater intrusion, more frequent “nuisance” flooding, and higher storm surge. Planning for, adapting to, and mitigating current and future sea level has begun out of necessity in many threatened areas. This session discusses the information that is needed for such efforts, and identifies areas where improvements still need to be made. In particular, this session invites contributions on understanding and projecting regional sea level rise and variability, accounting for and identifying changes in extreme events, and assessing the role of land motion in future coastal flooding. Other studies related to understanding, quantifying and projecting sea level rise on local and regional levels are also encouraged.
