Collaborative Research: Planning: CHIRRP: Integrating Subsurface Hazards due to Sea Level — NSF Award to Massachusetts Institute o
By the end of this century, sea level is expected to rise by one meter due to climate change and inundate coastal areas that are home to millions of people in the United States. As sea levels rise, groundwater levels will also rise, and groundwater salinities will increase, causing damage to subsurface infrastructures

| Abstract | By the end of this century, sea level is expected to rise by one meter due to climate change and inundate coastal areas that are home to millions of people in the United States. As sea levels rise, groundwater levels will also rise, and groundwater salinities will increase, causing damage to subsurface infrastructures such as tunnels, building foundations, and stormwater and sewer systems. Until now, coastal risk research has largely excluded groundwater-related hazards because they are harder t |
