Project focuses on developing sensitivity, impacts, and vulnerability assessments in coastal areas of the Arctic and East Coast. It includes improved methodologies for coastal erosion hazard assessment under changing climate including relative sea-level rise; measured vertical crustal motion to estimate future sea-level trends in low-lying coastal communities in western Arctic and southwest Gulf of St. Lawrence; impacts of extreme events on coastal stability under climate change; and vulnerability assessments for western Arctic coasts and southwest Gulf of St. Lawrence.
