Service Description:
Sea Level Rise
Sea level rise puts coastal communities and ecosystems at increased risk of flooding. This is especially true where coastal development prevents tidal marshes or mangroves from naturally shifting as sea level rises. We can help local communities and birds weather rising sea levels by restoring ecosystems that naturally buffer coastal communities and provide places where birds and other coastal wildlife can live.

Data Source(s)
Processing
We mapped the future footprint of sea level rise by identifying 3-km cells projected to experience inundation under a 1-meter sea level rise scenario based on both global (Braaten et al.) and U.S. (NOAA Office for Coastal Management 2019) datasets. Global projections were developed based on elevation and proximity to the coastline. Sea level rise in the contiguous U.S. was modeled under a bathtub approach that incorporated local elevation, tides, and topography. Global scenarios were matched to local sea level rise in each state through downscaled estimates (Sweet et al. 2017).
