Detailed Description

Examples of CoSMoS-GW mapping products that show (left) modeled current groundwater tables with red depicting sites of emergent groundwater and (right) groundwater tables with 6 feet of sea-level rise. Blue indicates coastal-driven flooding and inundation. Both figures are for a horizontal hydraulic conductivity of 1.0 m/d and LMSL tidal datum.

CoSMoS-Groundwater

The USGS Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) team has extensively studied overland flooding and coastal change due to rising seas and storms. Interactions with coastal stakeholders have elucidated another important question; will rising seas also intrude into coastal aquifers and raise groundwater tables? The CoSMoS-Groundwater (CoSMoS-GW) modeling effort seeks to provide initial insight into...
