Step 3:Type “sea level” in the search box to locate matching layers from ArcGIS Living Atlas. Scroll down to locate the Sea Level Rise Inundation – 1ft Above MHHW layer, then click the Add button (+) to add it to the map. Tip: To learn more about any layer, click the layer t...
Fig. 3: Coastal sea level rise (SLR). Location map showing color coding of coastal regions (a). Five-ESM ensemble mean regional coastal SLR differences of: G6solar–SSP585 (b); G6sulfur–SSP585 (c); G6solar–SSP245 (d); and G6sulfur–SSP245 (e) during 2080–2099. Vertical solid...
Coastal response to anthropogenic climate change is of central importance to the infrastructure and inhabitants in these areas. Despite being globally ubiquitous, the stability of rock coasts has been largely neglected, and the expected acceleration of cliff erosion following sea-level rise has not been...
The sea level is definitely rising, and it is jeopardizing rapidly growing coastal communities. Official decisions on evacuation of whole populations from some atolls in the Pacific Ocean have been taken or are being considered. For example, 980 people, the entire population of theCarteret Atoll,wi...
Sea level risehas long been expected to be an ongoing and worsening problem for U.S. coasts, but scientists have found that some areas are experiencing "unprecedented" levels of rising seas, raising concerns about the fate of alreadyvulnerable communities. ...
Rising seas present a unique challenge that will require a coordinated and well-resourced response across all levels of government. In fact, more than a dozen California agencies recently agreed to a set of targets to help the state prepare for sea level rise, and the Coastal Commission is a...
The existing vulnerability maps that used the bathtub method do not account for rising groundwater levels to model sea level rise; therefore, the bathtub method underestimates SLR impact. An enhanced vulnerability map is utilized to identify roadway segments at several risk categories caused by ...

For most of us, it is human nature to assume that the height of the oceans we've observed in our lives is a constant, but Englander says this perception is misleading. "Rising sea level is easy to miss because it's a slow effect, like a drip filling a bucket, as the ice sheets ...
Tuvalu already struggles with the rising sea. Between January and March, its seasonal “king tides” cause severe flooding. It’s been that way for decades. “Water literally seeps up through the ground below,” Gallagher said. “This could happen in minutes, and I witnessed many communities ...
