Evaluating proposed shoreline adaptation

 

Example output that will be generated from this project. Left: Inundation area and flood depth for Marina del Rey, California, under two meters of sea level rise and a 100-year storm. Right: Comparison of the economic damages across different storm severities and adaptation scenarios.

NCCOS-funded scientists are using a coupled groundwater–surface water modeling system to evaluate the site-specific performance of proposed shoreline adaptation actions with sea level rise and storms. This will inform the design and implementation of flood mitigation strategies that enhance #CoastalResilience. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/coastal-resilience-through-actionable-science-evaluation-of-adaptation-strategies-to-mitigate-surface-subsurface-flooding-in-coastal-communities/
