Description
This funding opportunity is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey to develop refined approaches for predicting coastal hazards in the context of climate change. The project includes research on long-term coastal evolution modeling, probabilistic and hybrid approaches to assessing coastal flood hazards, and linking projected climate indices with future coastal hazards. The collaboration involves coordination with Universidad de Cantabria and other USGS partners at federal, state, and local levels. The award is a cooperative agreement with a funding amount up to $325,000 and no cost-sharing requirement.
