Abstract: Two NCCOS Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise program projects located in coastal North Carolina are reaching out to and working with surrounding local communities impacted by the threat of sea level rise and storm surge. A project to understand and predict changes in North Carolina coastal marshes and their capacity to protect shorelines from the combined impacts of sea-level rise, tides, and storm surge is partnering with the NOAA North Carolina Sentinel Site Cooperative. Project leader, Dr. Christine Voss (University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences), combines research results and outreach with the North Carolina King Tides Project documenting water levels through photography. Also with the North Carolina Sentinel Site Cooperative is a project led by Dr. Peter Ruggiero of Oregon State University to model and assess the impacts of sea level rise on North Carolina natural and managed beaches and dunes. This project enlists a local high school student and the NOAA National Weather Service local forecast office to obtain meteorological and tidal data for the project model.
