Islands are some of the most biodiverse places on earth, but they are also hotspots of biodiversity loss. The coastline of Florida, U.S.A., is surrounded b
The map shows the effects of six feet of sea-level rise along Florida’s coasts and rivers. Absent successful accommodation, rising seas will pressure coastal Florida and even sites well inland. Barrier-island and low-lying communities face a spiral of shrinking property values and increasing cost...
Sea level rise (SLR)Digital elevation model (DEM)InundationTime horizonMulti-scenarioThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate three temporal mapping approaches to predict Sea Level Rise (SLR) in the Southern Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. These three temporal approaches provide an alternative to...
Global warming - Ice Melt, Sea Level Rise: A warming climate holds important implications for other aspects of the global environment. Because of the slow process of heat diffusion in water, the world’s oceans are likely to continue to warm for several
These threats are expected to intensify in the future, because many nesting beaches lie in (1) the tropics11, the most vulnerable zone to increased future coastal flooding due to sea level rise12; (2) regions prone to tropical cyclone activity4,13; and (3) developing countries, where ...
abouttwo degrees Fahrenheit higherthan it was in 1880 during the pre-industrial era. We are actually fortunate that 90 percent of the heat has actually been absorbed by the ocean instead of warming the atmosphere. However, the result of this is slowly-building,but accelerating, sea level rise...
The City of Pensacola is preparing for sea level rise. Recognizing the threats that higher tides mean for coastal cities, Pensacola applied for and received a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to conduct a vulnerability assessment and develop a resilience plan based...

For those diehards out there, you can choose English units (feet) instead of meters, and modify the flooding level numbers and update the map quickly by clicking on the “Go” button. Leaving a level blank omits that color from the map. Here’s an image from south Florida that uses th...
