Jeanine Jones & Dan Cayan
By 2100, increases in global sea level will result in long-term inundation of low-lying coastal areas throughout California. Within the next few decades, coastal flood damages will be driven by event-based inundation from storm surges, inland river flooding, and shallow flooding from high tides combined with storm conditions. Natural variability and human-caused change influence complex interactions like wind patterns and wave climates that contribute to coastal erosion and inundation.
In this lecture, Jeanine Jones and Dan Cayan will discuss climate’s influence on flooding mechanisms, expected impacts, and vulnerability of infrastructure such as stormwater systems.
Jones is the interstate resources manager for the California Department of Water Management. Cayan is a researcher with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and U.S. Geological Survey.
