SUMMER CLIMATE ACADEMY: Sea Level Rise in New Jersey

Sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, resulting in more frequent and higher coastal floods. Coastal and low-lying areas in New Jersey are particularly vulnerable.

In this session, Dr. Robert Kopp, Director of the Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, shares the latest information on sea level rise (SLR), changing coastal storms, and the resulting flood risk from a regional perspective.
