EC34B:
Coasts in Crisis: Sea Level Rise and Inundation and the Drivers for Adaptation III Posters


Session ID#: 9609

Session Description:
Sea-level rise, a dominant driving force of coastal change, along with altered wave conditions, storm intensity and ocean circulation patterns, is increasingly evident and important as a persistent and long term hazard worldwide. The geologic record shows that sea level has been as much as ~8 m higher and ~130 m lower than today within a timeframe that, though in a geological extent, coincides mostly with current coastal settings.. Sea-level rise, with high regional variability, is accelerating and is expected to continue for centuries, with rise of 0.5 to 2 m predicted by 2100. Inherent with this process is the expected increase in enhanced coastal storm and inundation activity – further enhancing coastal flooding and damage. Adaptation planning is advisable with reliable and validated models for predicting coastal change and inundation resulting from storms and rise. Papers invited include the impacts of sea-level rise, storms, waves on coasts; field and numerical model studies of storm surge, waves and inundation predictions and effects; links between warming and sea-level rise; assessments of coastal impacts; examples of adaptation and/or adaptive planning; national and regional investigations and/or policy of coastal elevation and change; and case studies.
