The Impact of Climate Change on Weather and Sea Levels 

Key Objectives:

• Analyze the reciprocal relationship between extreme weather events and rising sea levels.

• Explore the ecological and economic impacts of these interconnected challenges.

• Use case studies to highlight specific regional vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies.

Climate change is creating serious problems that are getting worse over time. Rising sea levels and extreme weather events, like storms and floods, are among the biggest challenges we face. Coastal areas are especially at risk, with more frequent floods and loss of land. Extreme weather, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, is also becoming more common, causing damage to homes, roads, and natural habitats. These issues are closely connected, as warmer temperatures make both severe storms and rising seas more likely, creating a cycle that is hard to stop. If we do not take action, these problems will continue to grow, making it harder for communities to adapt and protect their surroundings. Our project aims to study these issues to find ways to prevent or reduce their impact and to support real solutions.

The objective of this ATM Climate and Weather team project is to better understand the complex interactions between climate change and two of the most pressing environmental challenges, which is extreme weather events and rising sea levels. Combining analysis of these phenomena together, our team's objective is to demonstrate how climate-driven changes in temperature, precipitation, and oceanic conditions are leading to more frequent and severe natural disasters, while also contributing to accelerated sea level rise. This dual effect creates cascading risks for ecosystems, communities, and economies worldwide, with particular threats to coastal regions and biodiversity. 

Our team WC-5 aim to provide a scientific foundation for understanding these crictical issues, using data from authoritative sources such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). By combining quantitative analysis with case studies, our objective is to bring clarity to the complexities of climate-related changes, allowing stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
