    Shorelines and Climate Change Lab Report


    Please record your responses in a color other than black or red.

    Part 1: Shoreline Changes near Monterey

    1. In Monterey, there is a body of water called Laguna del Rey. It is one golf-tee-looking
    lake in 1913, but two different lakes in 1947. It also has an outlet in 1947 but not in 1913.
    What human-made features created these changes?

    2. The Presidio of Monterey has protrusions into Monterey Bay that were much different
    in 1913. Describe the differences and what these protrusions may be.

    3. What differences do you observe in the Carmel River vicinity between the two
    topographic maps provided? Be specific.

    4. Do human-made features change the topography of our waterways and shorelines


    slower or faster than what would happen naturally over time? Explain your reasoning,
    and give at least one example, from the lab or from your own experience.

    Part 2: Looking to the future

    1. How do you think changes in High Sierra snowpack will change the topography and/or
    water resources in California in the next ~ 100 years? Explain your reasoning.

    2. What are the estimated lower limit and upper limit for predicted sea level change in
    California in the next ~100 years?

    3. Consider the Surging Seas Risk Zone Map for the Stockton delta area. Approximately how
    much area do you expect to be under water in the next 100-200 years?

    4. How do you think this will impact communities in the Stockton area?

    5. Based on flooding and then sedimentation of this area after the end of the last ice age
    (see animation of post-glacial flooding of San Fransico Bay), what roles do you think
    natural sedimentation (unfettered erosion and deposition by streams) and/or human
    mitigation practices will play in dealing with the potential sea level change in the
    Stockton area?

    6. How do you think the Monterey/Carmel shoreline will change in the next 100-200 years
    due to predicted sea-level change? Color in the area to show your predictions on the
    map below

    7. How do you think this will impact communities in the Monterey and Carmel areas of
    the coast?

    8. In your opinion, what are the biggest differences in how communities in the Stockton
    area versus Monterey/Carmel might be impacted by the same sea level rise?

    Part 3: Stream Table


    1. Describe how the wave action has influenced the coastline in the stream table. (You
    can include a picture if that will help.)

    2. What structures have been added to the stream table? How have these structures
    changed the influence of wave action on the shoreline?
