Webinar Abstract
This presentation will discuss basic climate change and sea level science at the global level, then drill down to what is happening in different regions of the U.S. with a focus on the Southeast. Historical water level trends and Regional Sea Level Rise projections and trajectories will be illustrated and discussed (based on the SLR science included in NCA5). The presentation will then lead into regional impacts such as more frequent high tide flooding, compound flooding, coastal erosion, and expansion of coastal floodplains. Finally the presentation will highlight related data, tools, and training resources from NOAA’s Digital Coast.
