• Assessing the Nations Coastal Vulnerability in a
  Warming World
• Preparing for Hollandization of the Nations
  coastal cities vulnerable critical
  infrastructure
• Basis for developing scenarios for vulnerability
  of coastal urban areas (e.g. Cook Inlet, SF Bay
  Delta, Galveston Bay, Miami, Chesapeake, NYC)
• Forecasting coastal change, impacts to barrier
  islands, wetlands/ecosystem impacts, water supply
  vulnerability, seismic vulnerability, landslide
  susceptibility (including offshore)

Partnerships

• Assessing the Nations Coastal Vulnerability in a
  Warming World
• Joint initiative with US Army Corps of Engineers,
  NOAA, USFWS, Navy
• Bureau-wide effort includes support for BRD,
  Geography, WRD and GIO
• University partnership for economics, population
  dynamics, landslide hazard, geologic mapping
• Regional supporters include Congressional Coastal
  Alliance, Gulf of Mexico Alliance, NE Region
  Ocean Council, Tri-State Alliance,
  Houston-Galveston Subsidence District, and other
