Abstract
The objective of the project was to develop an analysis framework and methodologies for evaluation of coastal military installation
vulnerabilities and test them under prescribed scenarios of increased local mean sea level over the next century. Methodologies were
developed to assess the potential scope and magnitude of impacts from physical effects of flooding, inundation, erosion, seawater intrusion,
and alteration of tidal flows. Assessment methodologies targeted potential vulnerabilities of buildings, civil infrastructure, training areas,
and waterfront and coastal structures. The project focused on conditions in the southwestern United States and utilized the key coastal
military installations at Naval Base Coronado and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to test the approach.
