with more moving to the coasts every year. The net result of rising sea levels will be a dramatic increase in the exposure and vulnerability of this growing population, as well as the risk to critical infrastru
We made an interactive map to visualize the impact of rising sea levels on coastal residents worldwide.
Surging Seas software shows potential impact of rising sea levels on US cities An interactive mapping tool provides a scary glimpse of how cities such asNew York,BostonandMiamimight end up if sea levels continue to rise.More Accurate world map scoops grand prize at Good Design Awards 2016 ...
IT products contribute to the climate crisis with emissions throughout their life cycle Climate change is becoming increasingly severe, evident through extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and damage to both nature and people. Immediate action is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions ...
With sea levels rising at a faster rate than ever before, according to climatologists at NASA, storms like Sandy and Jonas have the potential to cause even more devastation to both infrastructure and natural resources. In Delaware, beaches in Rehoboth and Bethany lost sand dunes due to winter ...
(biomass) with an explanation of how this information is key to estimating how land-use change affects the climate. Interactive maps illustrate which areas will be severely affected by rising sea levels, the changes in sea ice extents in the Arctic Ocean, and population growth in urban ci...
However, the severity and frequency of these problems are on the rise due to multiple factors, including upstream influences, climate change, rising sea levels, and human development activities. In this study, mapping riverbank erosion potential in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta is proposed to be ...
- Barrier reefs: Very rare as they take forever to develop. Are thought to develop as a result of rising sea levels or sinking sea beds. They're separated from shores by a lagoon. - Platform reefs: Grow wherever the seabed is close enough to the surface to provide the conditions corals...
It will create more extreme hurricanes in the southeast and threaten the coast with rising sea levels. Severe weather will happen more often while pests like mosquitoes will spread as well. Could it be time to pack up and move to the Great Lakes? That's the sentiment from...
With effects from climate change, including rising sea levels, changing precipitation patterns, intensifying storms, and increasing temperatures, the capacity of natural coastal ecosystems to protect communities can be overwhelmed or reduced, especially in systems already subjected to other sources of anthro...
