Sea level acceleration and variability in the Chesapeake Bay: past trends, future projections, and spatial variations within the Bay
Fast sea level rise (SLR) is causing a growing risk of flooding to coastal communities around the Chesapeake Bay (hereafter, CB or “the Bay”), but...

On the links between sea level and temperature variations in the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)
Recent studies found that on long time scales there are often unexplained opposite trends in sea level variability between the upper and lower...
