Storm Surge

Climate change, sea-level rise, and associated storms are putting Maryland’s people, property, natural resources, and public investments at risk. This project is directed at assessing the impacts of long-term sea level rise and episodic storm surges on the low-lying lands of Maryland’s Eastern Shore at 2050 and 2100. The images above show the effects of strom surge in 2003 from Hurricane Isabel, 2050 and 2100 with storms similar to Isabel.
