Response of Texas Coast to Climate Change and Accelerated Sea-level Rise: The Coast our Children will Inherit

Climate Change has rapidly forced the Earth into conditions that have not existed in historical time, leaving us without analogs for current and future conditions on the planet. The Texas Coast will be significantly impacted by climate change due to its relatively high rate of sea-level rise and arid climate. Research conducted over the past three decades has provided a view of how the Texas Coast responded to past changes in the rate of sea-level rise, alterations in precipitation and hurricanes. These natural changes are now being outpaced by human-induced Climate Change that will result in a drastically different coast by the year 2050.
