Why This Research Matters 

Importance Highlights:

• Examine the impact of these environmental changes on coastal communities and biodiversity.

• Support policy development and adaptation efforts with data-driven insights.

• Highlight the global scale and urgency of interconnected climate-related challenges.

Understanding the combined impact of rising sea levels and extreme weather is essential for protecting both human and ecological systems. Rising sea levels pose significant risks to coastal populations, agriculture, and infrastructure, while extreme weather events, fueled by warmer oceans, continue to increase in severity and frequency. These changes create a feedback loop that worsens the effects of each phenomenon, such as storm surges becoming more destructive in areas already impacted by sea level rise.

The urgency of this research lies in its potential to inform global policies and local adaptation strategies. Without a clear understanding of these issues, efforts to address climate change may fall short, leaving communities unprepared and ecosystems at risk. Our project emphasizes the need for comprehensive data analysis to support actionable, evidence-based solutions that align with international climate goals.
