Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - Part 1
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive conference session on sea level rise and coastal flooding from the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into various aspects of sea level change, including calculation methods, patterns, distributions, and contributions. Examine extreme sea levels, allowances, and the Gamma Distribution. Investigate hydrodynamic models, tropical cyclones, and their impacts on sea level predictions. Learn about historical tidal measurements, causes of sea level change, and land level variations. Gain insights from experts in the field as they discuss key uncertainties and adaptation pathways for addressing this critical environmental issue.
