Just out: new New Jersey state sea-level rise assessment

Under current global emissions trends, New Jersey is likely to experience 1.5-2.5 ft of sea-level rise between 2005 and 2070, 2.2-3.8 ft by 2100 (or 2.2-4.5 ft, considering potential ice-sheet collapse).

Excited to share our latest paper on transdisciplinary research for clean & resilient energy systems in socially vulnerable communities!

We analyze how climate-induced extreme weather impacts energy infrastructure & propose solutions for equitable solar+storage integration.
