• Description:
  In this commentary, we focus on the basic‐science foundation that supports sea‐level decision‐making. Specifically, we discuss the role that U.S. federal science‐producing agencies National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) can play in supporting ongoing and future sea‐level adaptation efforts. We discuss current challenges in the work that NASA and NOAA are doing in this area, highlight how these challenges impact stakeholders, and then detail how improved coordination between NASA and NOAA can ultimately benefit stakeholders. While focused on the U.S. we contrast this to the state of play in other parts of the world and identify challenges and considerations that may be relevant for other agencies and countries across the globe.
