Project Description
This research will build on recent advances in the understanding of the drivers and rates of subsidence in coastal Louisiana by quantifying rates and their spatial variability as well as conducting an assessment of geocentric sea-level rise. The goal is to reduce uncertainties in estimates of present-day and future projections of relative sea-level rise.
