Developing Methodologies for Coastal Impacts Associated with Climate Variability

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a single-source contract to Universidad De Cantabria for the project "Developing Methodologies for Coastal Impacts Associated with Climate Variability." The project aims to develop refined approaches for predicting coastal hazards in the context of climate change. The USGS will collaborate with the university, sharing data and coordinating research. The project will focus on long-term coastal evolution modeling, probabilistic and hybrid approaches to assessing coastal flood hazards, and linking projected climate indices with future coastal hazards. Key aspects of the project include: • Developing methodologies for predicting coastal impacts associated with climate variability and climate change • Collaborating on research and sharing data between USGS and Universidad De Cantabria • Focusing on long-term coastal evolution modeling and probabilistic approaches to assessing coastal flood hazards • Linking projected climate indices with future coastal hazards • Coordinating with other USGS partners at federal, state, and local levels
