Written By Kaustubh Thirumalai

WHAT: In this project you will work to better understand how sea level rise contributed to elevated storm surge and coastal flooding induced by recent hurricanes (e.g., Hurricanes Ian in 2022 and Idalia in 2023)

WHERE: This project will involve sea level data analysis using the computing facilities at the University of Arizona. This project can be done either in-person or virtually.
