The Interagency Task Force on Sea Level Change co-develops critical science on sea level rise and its related impacts. This interactive site allows users to explore past, present, and projected future sea level rise, associated impacts, and adaptation measures for their area.

Sea level continues to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per year. Higher sea levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges push farther inland than they once did, which …

Key Takeaways: At least two feet of sea level rise is likely by 2100 and reducing emissions now can lower future risk. Earth-monitoring systems are vital for tracking future sea level rise. A transcript is available that presents this infographic in plain text. | …

The scenario projections of relative sea level along the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) coastline are about 0.6–2.2 m in 2100 and 0.8–3.9 m in 2150 (relative to sea level in 2000); these ranges are driven by uncer-tainty in future emissions pathways and the response of …

By 2100, sea levels may rise another one to eight feet. Sea level can rise by two different mechanisms with respect to climate change. First, as the oceans warm due to an increasing global temperature, seawater expands—taking up more space in the ocean basin and causing a rise in water level.

It informs about sea level rise, its causes, and impacts; and challenges students to think about what they can do in response. This module features an integrated educational package of grade level-appropriate (6-12) instruction and activities centered on a 23-minute video presentation.

“High tide flooding” describes increasingly common flooding conditions along the coast due to rising sea levels, sinking land, and the loss of natural barriers.

Global mean sea level (GMSL) rise is a direct efect of climate change, resulting from a combination of ther-mal expansion of warming ocean waters and the addition of water mass into the ocean, largely associated with the loss of ice from glaciers and ice sheets.

Jun 22, 2022 · The guide is a response to the NOAA-led Sea Level Rise report, which projected about a foot of higher waters, on average, along U.S. coastlines by 2050. That is as much sea level rise in 30 years as the country witnessed in the previous century.

Observation-based extrapolation and regionalized global mean sea level scenario–based estimates, in meters, of relative sea level in 2050 relative to a baseline of 2000 for eight coastal regions of the United States.
