Sea Level Rise Impacts to Military Installations in Lower Chesapeake Bay
A risk assessment methodology has been developed and implemented to quantify eustatic sea level rise (SLR) and coastal storm impacts on losses to military installation assets and mission capabilities in Lower Chesapeake Bay. The approach is a multi-criteria risk assessment founded on the framework used for the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration (LACPR) Project and the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (USACE 2008). A set of four SLR scenarios are being analyzed and include 0.5 to 2.0 meters in 0.5-meter increments over equal time durations of 100 years. Simulations start with the base year of 2000 and end in year 2100. Results are used as inputs to military installation asset and mission capability loss relationships. The entire risk assessment is composed of hydrodynamic storm surge and wave modeling in conjunction with sediment transport, geomorphologic, and environmental characterization analyses. This paper focuses on the regional hydrodynamic storm surge and wave modeling methodology and analysis.
