2 Historical storms: Northeastern US Vulnerability September 3, 1821 Hurricane moving at about 50 mph the storm took less than 8 hours to get from NC to NY from Boose et al January 2009, The Tides they are a changin AMS Annual Meeting 2
3 September 3, 1821 Storm Surge: New York City Courtesy Jeff Donnelly, WHOI Maximum Water Level above MSL (m) cm of SLR since 1821 Predicted Tide Redfield (1831) - Water rose 13 feet (4 m) in one hour -0.5 Time (hours) January 2009, The Tides they are a changin AMS Annual Meeting 3
4 Population and wealth have substantially increased in the areas impacted by the 1821 Hurricane Coastal population in MD, DE, NJ, NY, and CT now exceeds 31 million Insured coastal property is over 1 trillion dollars Difficulty evacuating people Rockaway Beach, NY January 2009, The Tides they are a changin AMS Annual Meeting 4

9 Coastal cities also impacted by local human practices and land use Compared to 30 years ago, we have Greater populations leading to more pollution Greater pressure on resources Loss of coastal barriers and marshes More toxic and invasive species January 2009, The Tides they are a changin AMS Annual Meeting 9

16 Coastal cities have increased their vulnerability but also can be part of solution Strategies for containing costs of short term disasters will be equally helpful for addressing long term sea level rise and other climate change impacts Investments in public infrastructure tied to resilient citing and design Strategic and aggressive approach towards coastal habitat acquisition, restoration, remediation and creation LEEDS-type standards for resilient structures (and tax credits) Integrated regional coastal zone management plans Energy saving and fossil fuel reduction technologies Influencing changes in life style behavior Relocation January 2009, The Tides they are a changin AMS Annual Meeting 16
17 The science agenda must Develop systems approach to modeling and observing coastal regions and cities (atmosphere, ocean, land; social infrastructure and human practices) Enhance integrated observing systems (both coastal and global) Work within city frameworks to provide science into decisionmaking processes Coordinate and develop sustained international partnerships Pursue adaptation focus: Energy Mitigation; Water-Adaptation January 2009, The Tides they are a changin AMS Annual Meeting 17
