| Abstract | The information contained in this report is organized as three separate but related research studies. Collectively, these studies investigate the impact of climate change and sea level rise on transportation infrastructure within portions of the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. The first report "Impact of Sea Level Rise on Roadways in the Hampton Roads Region of Virginia" emphasizes the vulnerability of roadways to sea level rise in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. The second report "Impact of Climate Change on Design Rainfall Events in Hampton Roads, VA" explored various future precipitation scenarios in order to better understand climate change impacts to design rainfall events. The third report “Effect of rain gauge proximity on rain estimation for problematic urban coastal watersheds in Virginia Beach, VA” looks at the question of how rainfall variability within Virginia Beach impacts the ability to accurately measure rainfall using gauging stations. Each subreport is presented independently along with a title page listing the authors of that subreport. The University of Virginia completed the first and third subreports, while Virginia Tech completed the second subreport. |
