Collaborative Research: Deciphering MIS 5e sea-level changes using U-Th dated fossil coral — NSF Award to University of Florida (F
Sea-level rise is a major issue affecting coastal communities, infrastructure, and the environment. Flooding already costs the U.S. economy $200 - $400 billion annually, and sea-level rise will worsen flooding impacts for coastal communities, which support 58 million jobs and produce $9.5 trillion in goods and services

| Abstract | Sea-level rise is a major issue affecting coastal communities, infrastructure, and the environment. Flooding already costs the U.S. economy $200 - $400 billion annually, and sea-level rise will worsen flooding impacts for coastal communities, which support 58 million jobs and produce $9.5 trillion in goods and services. This project aims to better constrain the sensitivity of ice sheets to future melting by examining the Last Interglacial period (~ 129,000 to 116,000 years ago), when Earth was s |
