How Climate Change affects Coastal Hazards in New Jersey. Dr Shope discusses the science of sea-level rise and how stronger storms can increase coastal flooding and erosion on the New Jersey shoreline. He will also review historic trends and the science and the potential for more destructive coastal storms in New Jersey.
Help Document our Changing Coast with MyCoast: New Jersey. Ms. Archer discusses the mycoast.org/nj platform for communities to learn about climate-related flood risks and document coastal changes over time. Various tools on the website or mobile app allow community users to share photos and stories that document impacts of flooding and changes to shorelines due to higher tides, storms, and erosion. MyCoast fetches background data on location, weather, and water levels to add scientific context to each report. The submitted MyCoast reports inform state agencies, local governments, and community organizations and gives your community a voice in future climate and coastal resilience planning efforts.
