As part of a global network sponsored by The Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, UW and WWU are working on developing a series of analyses, using accurate digital elevation models for Puget Sound that can be used to predict the potential impact of sea level rise and storm surge on human infrastructure.
- The TNC National network is described at http://coastalresilience.org/
- Sample maps are located at http://maps.coastalresilience.org/pugetsound/
