Abstract: The project will advance scientific, engineering and policy perspectives on the most fundamental Natural and Nature--based Feature (NNBF):
sediment. In this project we will develop modeling tools to study the effect of sediment management practices on the resiliency and
vulnerability of coastal communities and coastal wetlands under climate change scenarios projected through approximately 2100.
Modeling tools will enable analysis of flood risk, instability and erosion risk, and habitat distributions afforded by alternative
sediment management practices. We will also develop a framework to improve the characterization of extreme events (flood hazards)
associated with multiple drivers, such as a combination of storm tides, streamflow, and precipitation. This important modeling challenge
facing coastal areas has yet to be systematically addressed, and is a fundamental issue for analyzing and comparing alternative strategies
to adapt coastal lowlands.
