Defending Coastal Infrastructures Against Sea Level Rise and Tropical Storms
Defending Coastal Infrastructures Against Sea Level Rise and Tropical Storms
Session ID#: 124851
Session Description:
This session welcomes studies that address the challenges of responding to sea level rise and tropical storms which cause far-reaching short- and long-term consequences for coastal communities including coastal cities. The exigent threats include coastal flooding, coastal erosion, land subsidence, and saltwater intrusion. Contributions include, but are not limited to, in situ and remote sensing observations, numerical analysis, integrated process-based modeling and predictions, and mitigation techniques and response strategies.
