Summary

While the climate science of sea level rise (SLR) is well established, less is known about the social and economic consequences of SLR. Economist Jonathan Colmer will examine which populations are exposed to projected SLR and how the risk of this exposure has evolved over time. He will develop and enhance the Census Environmental Impacts Frame, a new micro data infrastructure, for his study.
