🌊TIDAL FLOODING TALK | Sea levels will rise at least a half foot by 2040 compared to 2014. By 2070, it's likely to between 1.3 to 2.3 feet higher than 2014. Dr. Bob Kopp, lead author of the 2025 Rutgers Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel Report, joins Dan and Joe to discuss.

TIDAL FLOODING TALK | FEMA’s voluntary flood buyout program aims to reduce future disaster costs, yet often shifts flood risk to new homeowners rather than removing properties from harm’s way. Rice University sociologist Jim Elliott breaks down real migration patterns, persistent structural inequalities favoring wealthier areas, and the growing challenge of climate gentrification.

Extreme precipitation trends under global warming reveal heavy rainfall events in the tropics surging dramatically—moderate rains decline while intense downpours rise sharply over decades. University of Miami PhD student (and Jersey guy) Eric Mischell shares insights on Florida's record events like 2023 Fort Lauderdale floods, convective changes, and climate-driven water cycle shifts.

In our latest New Jersey Coastal Coalition discussion, we showcased Stafford Township’s outstanding resiliency achievements, including $5–10 million in DEP-funded marsh restorations using dredge spoils, extensive lagoon dredging to fight tidal flooding, and our exciting new free web app that delivers real-time weather alerts and emergency messaging.

We dove into the value of regional partnerships, Community Rating System discounts that reduce flood insurance costs, and community-led stormwater initiatives built to protect our coast from rising climate risks.

Explore groundbreaking coastal resiliency research at Oregon State University's Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory, led by Director Pedro Lomonaco. Using large-scale wave flumes and basins, they simulate hurricane surges and storm impacts on houses. This way, we all know how we need to elevating structures to protect our coastal communities from storms.

Environmental reporter Amanda Oglesby from the Asbury Park Press (www.app.com) explored wave power’s promise as a renewable energy source for New Jersey.

Though still emerging—with pioneering research at Rutgers and Stevens Institute—wave energy faces steep challenges, including ocean corrosion, high costs, and mixed political support.

The discussion also covered wind project hurdles like elevated interest rates and supply chain issues, plus Superstorm Sandy’s lasting lessons on coastal resilience and flood risk.

Sand on the East Coast moves north to south. Sea level depends on the tide. We dig into the science of sand with Dr. Lenore Tedesco from The Wetlands Institute (https://wetlandsinstitute.org/)! Rising sea levels threaten marshes and beaches, underscoring vital marsh restoration projects. Beach nourishment provides short-term relief from tidal flooding, but faces long-term sustainability challenges.
