Possible Solutions to California's Changing Coastline from Sea Level Rise
Started June 7, 2024
Abstract or project description
This research paper assesses the impacts to sandy beaches, bluffs, and estuaries from climate change and sea level rise on the California coast. It aims to propose the best approach to solutions to help mitigate the effects of climate change and sea level rise. The paper uses the framework of soft solutions, hard solutions, and managed retreat to provide insight on possible solutions for sandy beaches, bluffs, and estuaries along the California coast.
Utilizing the literature review format, this paper provides background information on each landform and how the terrain has been impacted by erosion and sea level rise. The paper describes what has already been done, offering different types of solutions for the future, and then transitioning into a broader discussion about the future of the California coast.
