Abstract
The critical logistics hub for US and UK militaries in the Middle East faces the immense danger of coastal erosion and flooding. The highest point above sea level is 22 feet, but the island’s mean height above sea level is 4 feet. A sea-level rise of several feet would force the US military to relocate and abandon this strategically important naval outpost in Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
