The influence of future Sea-Level Rise (SLR) on tsunami hazards is likely to have substantial health and safety, economic, and societal impacts, especially as more people move to coastal California. Some research has been conducted to evaluate the potential impact of SLR on tsunami hazards in California, yet this work was focused on one location and one phenomenon. We propose to further this important work by expanding analyses of SLR impacts to four sea-level hazard levels from new probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis data at eight key index study sites statewide. We also propose to expand the scope of this study and to evaluate additional processes that impact coastal communities and ports and harbors. We propose to conduct tsunami risk and vulnerability analyses, tsunami loads engineering analyses, coastal erosion analyses, and sediment transport analyses at these study sites.
