Project Description

This research built 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 was to reduce uncertainties in estimates of present-day and future projections of relative sea-level rise.
