Sea Water Rise Prediction Map

The rate of sea level rise is accelerating: Visualize and download global and local sea level projections from the intergovernmental panel on climate change sixth assessment report. Water levels are relative to mean higher high water (mhhw) (excludes wind driven tides).

Geological survey’s impact studies, you get a robust national estimate of the projected future that awaits american coastal communities and our economic infrastructure in 20, 30, or 100 years from now,” said nadya. Waters in the ocean are expanding as they absorb massive amounts of heat trapped by greenhouse gases in earth’s atmosphere. Photo simulations of how future flooding might impact local landmarks are also provided, as well as data related to water depth.

Sea level rise and coastal flooding impacts.

The map shows the areas at risk of flooding with every foot of sea level rise. In its 2019 report, the ipcc projected (chart above) 0.6 to 1.1 meters (1 to 3 feet) of global sea level rise by 2100 (or about 15 millimeters per year) if greenhouse gas emissions remain at high. Photo simulations of how future flooding might impact local landmarks are also provided, as well as data related to water depth. Glaciers and ice sheets are adding hundreds of gigatons of meltwater into the oceans each year.
