Kristina Kunkel’s graduate research looked at the extreme risks of relative sea level rise facing the coastal community of King Salmon. This thesis explores the communities’ perceptions of, and vulnerability to flooding and sea level rise, and identifies possible adaptation strategies with the community at the center of the discussion.
