Rapidly changing environmental conditions both on land and in the Arctic ocean are driving accelerated erosion of the Arctic coast and storm driven flooding of low-lying regions. Erosion both threatens communities and infrastructure, and is a major source of carbon and nutrients to coastal waters.


InteRFACE is quantifying both the on-and off-shore controls of coastal erosion and flooding through the analysis of historical data and a hierarchical use of physics-based models to identify the geographic and temporal patterns of coastal change to more robustly couple land and ocean components of ESMs.
