2 Displacement of World Fleet ~ 2.15 billion tons Surface Area of the Worlds Oceans ~ 361 million km 2 From: What if? Reduction in Sea Level ~ 6 microns At SLR ~ 3 mm/year persists for about 17 hours From: TIME IN HOURS

3 How can we translate global climate change science into actionable information for installation managers? Develop a rigorous framework for vulnerability assessment Translate global scenarios into regional and local scenarios Provide the models and tools to evaluate the range of impacts for these scenarios Prioritize our responses based on a fundamental understanding of the system response

4 DoD Strategic Environmental Research and Development project Develop methods for assessment of sea level rise impact on coastal DoD infrastructure Improved methods to support regional assessment of vulnerability Beyond the bathtub Region-specific SLR scenarios Focus on SW region Evaluate through application Naval Base Coronado Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton 3 4

36 MCBCP is inherently more resilient to sea level rise than other regional coastal installations Steeper coastal topography Limited coastal development Adaptive capacity from erodible cliffs Beach training areas are the most vulnerable aspect of MCBCP infrastructure Narrower beaches Acceleration of cliff erosion Sand budget deficits Limited vulnerability to built infrastructure Buildings, roadways, storm drains, recreation areas especially in Del Mar area 36

37 37 Better data to define the topography and variability of the beach zone, especially during storm events Monitoring of current day storm-driven flooding and damage - validation data sets for shoreline models Further analysis of flooding events including detailed hydraulics and interaction with precipitation especially at Santa Margarita River/Lagoon Gaps in Mission Dependency Index assignments to infrastructure Better understanding of the implications of offinstallation SLR impacts on the installation Extend the vulnerability analysis capability to application for natural resources

38 Incorporate sea level rise into long term planning Preserve and enhance existing buffer zones Develop new buffer zones Allow cliffs to erode Minimize new construction on/near beaches and bluffs Replenish beaches
