Our efforts are organized into five research areas. The first four research areas are aligned with specific DOE program areas: Regional and Global Modeling and Analysis (RGMA), MultiSector Dynamics (MSD), Earth System Model Development (ESMD), and Earth System Science (ESS). The final, cross-cutting research area leverages tools from all four program areas to address topics that are relevant across all sponsoring programs.

CROSS-CUTTING

Long-term changes in flooding, drought, hypoxia, and other coastal hazards

Impacts of urbanization, development, and other land-use changes on coastal systems

Grid generation, remote sensing, and other cross-cutting data and tools

RGMA

Large-scale drivers of storms, droughts, and other extreme events

Influence of surface-atmosphere interactions on extreme events

Influence of land surface process on land-atmosphere interactions

MSD

The influence of natural system stressors on human systems in coastal regions

The influence of coastal development patterns and infrastructure on flood risk

The influence of adaptation strategies on co-evolving human and natural systems

ESMD

Earth system drivers of coastal flooding

Land-river-ocean interactions affecting coastal salinity gradients

Controls on fate and transport of sediments and nutrients

ESS

Influence of surface water, groundwater interactions and lateral flow on coastal flooding

The Integrated Coastal Modeling project is funded by the MultiSector Dynamics (MSD), Regional and Global Modeling and Analysis (RGMA), and Earth System Model Development (ESMD) program areas in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Earth and Environmental System Modeling Program, and by the Earth System Science (ESS) program, all of which are part of the Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division of the Office of Biological and Environmental Research in DOE’s Office of Science.
