Rapid sea level rise has been identified as a major threat to coastal Australia, where most of the Australian population lives. Our understanding and ability to respond to this threat is extremely limited at this point. This project will directly benefit Australian communities and businesses, specifically those in southeast Queensland by bringing together a team of distinguished, multidisciplinary researchers and Super Science Fellows to explore the threats and challenges posed by rapidly rising sea levels. By building capacity and answering many urgent and difficult questions related to the legal, environmental and planning ramifications of sea level rise, this project will prepare communities and policymakers for the difficult times ahead.

海平面迅速上升已被确认为对澳大利亚沿海地区的主要威胁，澳大利亚大部分人口居住在那里。在这一点上，我们对这一威胁的理解和应对能力极其有限。该项目将汇集一支由杰出的多学科研究人员和超级科学研究员组成的团队，探索海平面迅速上升带来的威胁和挑战，从而直接造福于澳大利亚社区和企业，特别是昆士兰东南部的社区和企业。通过能力建设和回答与海平面上升的法律、环境和规划影响有关的许多紧急和困难问题，该项目将使社区和政策制定者为未来的困难时期做好准备。
