Estimating Sea-Level Extremes in an Uncertain Future

We are living in a world in which sea level is rising and will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. However, traditional design guidelines for coastal infrastructure assume that sea level is not changing. So how do we incorporate our knowledge of future sea-level rise into coastal risk assessments, planning procedures and the development of coastal policy?

A national program of FREE information seminars and training workshops will explain how, using the latest methods from leading sea-level rise scientists.

This program is specifically designed for coastal infrastructure owners, planners, engineers and policymakers to assist in understanding how to:

• set appropriate design codes for new infrastructure,
• assess the risk to existing infrastructure and
• set prudent guidelines for coastal developments and infrastructure maintenance.

Please note: the current round of seminars and workshops has now been completed. 

Please check back regularly for updates on future programs.
