Southern California is renowned for its beautiful beaches. The effect of sea level rise on these beaches could have grave economic consequences for the region. Join Dr. Reinhard Flick as he describes how the coast and beaches of southern California formed, why they look the way they do, and how various scenarios for rising sea level play out.

  • The introduction is quite funny. Really funny. The speaker is quite amusing but informative.

  • As sea levels rise, so do opportunities.

    Future Water Proof Corporation aims to work with the world's rising sea levels to provide cost-effective living solutions for use in a post-climate-change world through the implementation of Global Warming Utilization Management.

    The foundations of our innovative capital venture were laid out in 2009 with the publication of the first reports by the New York City Panel on Climate Change.

  • Someone learned a new word 5 months ago.

  • Good presentation, although, no mention of the equalizing effect of isostasy on the sea floor (as accepted for land masses) in measuring the rate of sea level rise. The isostatic effect should nearly have a 1/3 drop ratio of the sea floor, since the added water is only about 1/3 the mass of displaced sea floor rock, which is ultimately displaced out under the land masses and decreases the sea level rise by 1/3 of the expected measurement. Is isostasy a factor in your data?

    Thank you,

  • Dr. Flick, have you consulted Dr. Nils-Axel Morner about your sea-level speculation?
