Sea level rise driven by global climate change is a clear and present risk today and will remain so in the coming decades. Sea levels will continue to rise due to the ocean’s sustained response to warming that has already occurred—even if climate change mitigation strategies succeed in limit...

You can set three different flooding levels, and assign different colors to them (red, orange, and y...

Although sea levels have been rising since the end of the lastglaciation(nearly 11,000 years), the rate of rise has increased over the past 200 years as average global temperatures have increased. The rise is due to two factors, the freshwater being added to the oceans fromice meltin thecr...
Coastal flooding occurs when ocean water levels rise to the point of negatively impacting the surrounding coastal infrastructure. Communities on the coasts are particularly vulnerable to flooding events since nearly 40% of the US population lives in coastal areas. These areas also tend to be more cr...
For many of these depressions the lowest point is the shoreline of a lake where water levels rise and fall in elevation in response to rainfall, evaporation, use of water by humans and many other factors. CIA Factbook.Thirty-Three Countries with Land Areas Below Sea Level Country Below Sea...
The Cassino Beach is a low-lying coast with high inundation susceptibility in southern Brazil. To map this vulnerability, a low cost alternative to the inc
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...
This greater forcing also contributed to excess loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets during the LIG, causing global mean sea level to rise at least four metres above modern levels. When accounting for the combined influences of penultimate and LIG deglaciation on glacial isostatic ...
The resulting 95% upper bound of the sea-level projections was combined with a threshold for extreme flooding to map out the extent of sea-level rise in coastal communities using a digital coastal tracker. Keywords: unified (dynamic) structural equation model; generalized additive model; vector ...
