Sea-level rise in the indo-pacific region: building a framework for interdependent resilience

The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $235,689 Project Grant under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300) program to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 4-year research project entitled "Sea-Level Rise in the Indo-Pacific Region: Building a Framework for Interdependent Resilience" from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028.

As the prime awardee, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography will leverage its expertise in oceanography, climate science, and geophysics to conduct research and develop solutions to address sea-level rise challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. The project will involve field expeditions, data analysis, instrumentation development, and training of future ocean scientists. Scripps has a strong track record of supporting federal agencies like ONR, NASA, and NOAA through diverse research and technology development activities.
