Form to Document Flooding
Sea level rise and climate change includes a variety of evidence such as flooded streets, emerging groundwater, flooded crawlspaces, salt deposits on soil, asphalt or concrete surfaces, stormwater backflow, sanitary sewer overflows, marine overtopping, etc. Please send me your photos!

Sea Level Rise and Groundwater Flooding
Jim has over 40 years of experience as a geologist and environmental scientist. Jacobs developed all five book project proposals and worked as co-author and co-editor on all the books. He is currently a PhD student in geology at the University of California Santa Cruz studying sea level rise (SLR) and groundwater flooding.
Putting sea level rise into perspective related to flood days per year and water movements at the local-scale are critical for developing SLR mitigation measures.

Sea Level Rise and Groundwater Flooding
Sea level rise (SLR) and extreme storms in coastal urban areas comes with surface flooding and groundwater inundation. I am working on a project at the Manzanita Interchange on Highway 101-Rte 1 in southern Marin and Atchison Village in the City of Richmond, California to evaluate flood vulnerabilities, focused on wastewater and transit infrastructure. Watch this space.
