Improving the resilience of human settlements is required by United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG's) 11 and 13. As a coastal country, the resilience to sea level extremes is of great importance to Norway. Previous studies have focused on national or global level risk, however sea level extremes are highly localized and the understanding of risk needs to be at a regional and local levels. The purpose of this thesis is to determine resilience to sea level extremes in 4 key sites in Trondheim and contribute to the creation of a framework for quickly and inexpensively determining a place's resilience to changing sea level extremes. Projected resilience is determined from the interplay of natural, technological and social systems, which can all vary in space and time. The most dynamic factors are those within the social systems of resilience and as such are the focus in this thesis. Stakeholder surveys conducted in Trondheim coastal neighbourhoods indicate better awareness of the risk of sea level extremes for the period 2050 to 2100 than 2022 to 2050. An investigation of the link between local knowledge and academic models showed that residency was the most important factor affecting participants' awareness of sea-level extremes. By combining social resilience with natural and technological resilience it allows for a more a holistic understanding of changing resilience to SLEs.
