Enhanced modeling of climate change shocks and stressors to promote resilient communities, infrastructure, and policy development: initial set-up of sea level rise model framework I
Abstract
Climate change shocks and stressors associated with sea level rise (SLR) include extreme tides, storm surge, coastal erosion, groundwater inundation, extreme weather, and compound events (two or more simultaneous impacts). These are all growing in magnitude and frequency in Hawaii and challenge the resiliency of all types of coastal communities. Strengthened resiliency can be achieved with 1)High-resolution model simulations of near- and long-term climate system threats, and 2) Partnerships among climate scientists, engineers, planners, policymakers, and other stakeholders. This proposal establishes the Climate Resilience Initiative (CRI) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with a focus in this first phase on SLR modeling and building partnerships with key stakeholders.
