Assessing Coastal Change in Support of the 2023 Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan

Summary

The intent of the modeling effort by Harte Research Institute was to further understand and quantify the future impacts of sea level rise and storm surge events, and to compare a no-action scenario without any additional resiliency projects vs. a future with-project scenario by incorporating both Tier 1 and conceptual resiliency projects. Additionally, geohazard and vulnerability maps were also developed showing the changes or vulnerabilities relative to time due to these gradual (sea level rise) and immediate (storm surge) coastal changes.
