This research project, led by William Coronel, aims to improve the understanding of the ways that sea level rise affects MACH’s geographic region by incorporating more specific information about how land is moving along the coast (vertical land motion), as well as better characterizing the variability of currents, temperature, and salinity of the ocean. The goal is to be able to integrate interannual sea-level variability into flood hazard predictions and projections, improve the prediction of sea-level rise within a twenty-year timescale, and improve estimates of the lead time for distinguishing between sea-level scenarios in the context of decision-making.
