What is ICSI 2014 - Sea-Level Change Considerations for Marine Civil Works--COPRI Committee Update on Best Practices about?

The Coasts, Oceans, Ports and Rivers Institute (COPRI) within the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is developing a Manual of Best Practice to address the inclusion of sea-level change considerations during the design of marine civil works. The Committee serves the needs of all stakeholders involved in a marine project and designers and engineers in particular. The manual will provide designers and engineers with systematic methods for incorporating sea-level change projections into their project designs. Studies use different methods and data for calculation and thus global mean sea level rise estimates for 2100 range from 0.6 -2.0 meters. In addition, planning for marine civil works should consider local sea level variations. In response, this Committee is developing recommendations to assist in managing design factors, uncertainty, and to a certain extent, measure implementation. This paper provides an overview of these issues the recommendations that the Committee is developing. 1 Including but not limited to: sea-level rise group; ASCE sea-level rise and coastal infrastructure 199
