Coastal Resilience to Climate Change
As part of a global network sponsored by The Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, UW and WWU are working on developing a series of analyses, using accurate digital elevation models for Puget Sound that can be used to predict the potential impact of sea level rise and storm surge on human infrastructure.
The TNC National network is described at http://coastalresilience.org/ Sample maps are located at http://maps.coastalresilience.org/pugetsound/
