Nafiz Abeer, a PhD student in the BioMLSP Lab, won the third-place award in the TAMIDS Sea Level Rise Data Science Challenge. Nafiz teamed up with two other graduate students – Sharmin Majumder (Electrical Engineering) and Musfira Rahman (Civil Engineering) – to analyze and predict US Coastal sea-level rise and its socio-economic impacts.

“The growing impacts of climate change have underscored the need to understand Mean Sea Level (MSL) rise, particularly along the US East and Gulf coasts. The sea level rise dynamics behave differently for the southeast and northeast parts of the US coast. This report presents an analysis of historical tide gauge records from 1900 to 2021 to understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of MSL rise along the northeast and southeast coats and Gulf coasts and its socio-economic implications on coastal communities.”
