visual rhetoric/visualization techniquesIn visual risk communication, there has been a push toward using realism to show potential effects of sea level rise on coastal communities, often with the assumption that higher degrees of realism are more effective. We challenge this assumption by sharing the...
we know that substantial sea-level rise is already baked in, regardless of whether we stop global warming. Scientists just don't know exactly how long it will take to see the rise or how fast it will occur. But using proxy records, glaciologists can see that as we emerged from the las...
The number of clusters,k, is predefined by the user and is often determined iteratively by evaluating SOMs for different values ofk. We used SOMs withk=169clusters, arranged on a 13×13 lattice. This number was determined iteratively through visual inspection of SOMs for differentk, and using ...
Climate change-induced sea-level rise will lead to an increase in internal migration, whose intensity and spatial patterns will depend on the amount of sea-level rise; future socioeconomic development; and adaptation strategies pursued to reduce exposure and vulnerability to sea-level rise. To explo...
That's very close to sea level. Other areas such as Miami, Bangladesh are going to have lots of problems. And of course, these South Pacific low lying islands that are only a couple of metres above sea level rise," she said. "Anytime ...

The MIT group was invited by Invena, a group in the Maldives who had seen the researchers’ work on self-assembly and self-organization and wanted to collaborate on solutions to address sea-level rise. The resulting project has now shown promising initial results, with a foot and a half (...
level rise. Globally, we identified 798 canyon heads that are currently located at the 120m-depth contour (the Last Glacial Maximum shoreline) and 183 canyon heads that are connected to the shore (within a distance of 6 km) during the present-day highstand. Regional hotspots of shore-...
Using our digital twin technology, we can present the potential impacts of sea-level rise in a highly visual 3D format. It makes our predictions easier for users to understand. And users can of course drill down to the raw data if they need to access a greater level of detail. These qua...
At a regional scale, Gehrels and Woodworth10 used tide gauge and proxy reconstructions from the North Atlantic and Australasia to suggest an increase in the rate of rise between 1895 and 1945 CE; however, this estimate was simply made by visual inspection of sea-level trends. Previous studies ...
