A new study reveals that as sea level rise increases and flooding worsens, dozens of airports in California, including Los Angeles International and San Francisco International, are at risk of having their operations disrupted.
The Pacific Ocean and California's coast are just two of the major draws for visiting the state, but they could soon be the reason that doing so becomes more difficult. Cross-sectoral and multiscalar exposure assessment to advance climate adaptation policy: The case of future coastal flooding of California's airports, looked at 43 coastal airports in the state to determine how they could be impacted by flooding.
Sarah Lindbergh, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the study's lead author, told CBS News that even though the airport itself wouldn't necessarily see a direct hit from the flooding, thefrom nearby flooding could cause significant issues when it comes to operations, such as the ability to transport cargo and people.
