Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The nation's coastlines are facing unprecedented change due to sea level rise. While this may be highly visible in many cases as the sea swallows land, roads, buildings, and other infrastructure, major, potentially disruptive changes will also be happening in the unseen subsurface.
The threat is most significant in highly developed urban areas. As the sea rises, coastal water tables rise too, flooding foundations, buried utilities, and other subsurface infrastructure, and increasing surface flooding by reducing the amount of infiltrated rainfall that can be stored.
Rising seas will increase saltwater intrusion into coastal areas, with potentially devastating corrosion impacts on foundations and other buried infrastructure. The funding is anticipated to be spent determining the optimal sites for monitoring system installation, clearing the sites for buried utility conflicts, obtaining necessary permits, purchasing monitoring equipment, installing the systems, providing for cloud-based management and analysis of the collected data, and training staff to operate and maintain the systems.
