Building National Capacity to Anticipate and Respond to Coastal Change Hazards Geologic and Geomorphic Observations Models, Forecasts, and Assessments Observational Programs Delivery Mechanisms

Forecasting Storm Vulnerability Update generalized scenario for cat 1-4 hurricanes using post-Sandy beach conditions. Reduced beach elevations led to Increased vulnerability to coastal erosion during future storms. Pre-Sandy (2010) vulnerability 20% of Fire Island was likely to overwash Post-Sandy (2012) vulnerability 70% of Fire Island is likely to overwash EROSION EROSION OVERWASH OVERWASH INUNDATION INUNDATION

Ensuring Maximum Impact Coastal National Elevation (CoNED) Datasets Mapping California State Waters Predicted Mobility of Oil/Sand “Tarballs”

Multi-Faceted Research Capability Characterizing the Extended Continental Shelf (ECS)– beyond the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Joint effort, led by US Dept of State with NOAA and USGS conducting research cruises in Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans Objectives include mapping thickness of sediments , identifying geologic features and processes, assessing offshore hazards April 2015 track lines in North Atlantic
