NOAA Sea Level Rise Portal - NOAA's National Ocean Service
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.
Is sea level rising? - NOAA's National Ocean Service
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 also means more frequent nuisance flooding .
2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report: Infographics - NOAA's …
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. | …
How is sea level rise related to climate change? - NOAA's National ...
Currently, sea level is rising about one-eighth of an inch per year but is projected to rise in the future. By 2100, sea levels may rise another one to eight feet. Sea level can rise by two different mechanisms with respect to climate change.
• Relative sea level along the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) coastline is expected to rise on average as much over the next 30 years (0.25–0.30 m over 2020–2050) as it has over the last 100 years (1920–2020).
Sea Level Rise - NOS Education - NOAA's National Ocean Service
Explain: explain the causes of sea level rise. Elaborate: apply new knowledge to understand how their actions impact sea level rise and climate change. Evaluate: calculate their carbon footprint and determine what, if any, changes can be made. Additional Resources: NOAA National Ocean Service Education – Ocean and Climate Literacy
NOS Supports National Coastal Resilience - NOAA's National …
As part of this program, NOAA awards research funding for projects that explore what type of nature-based solutions work best to address a particular community's coastal ecosystem, infrastructure, and surface transportation vulnerabilities to sea level rise.
What is high tide flooding? - NOAA's National Ocean Service
Adding in Sea Level Rise. NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management offers an online tool to visualize how different local factors, such as strong tides and rainfall, combine to create coastal flooding. You can add sea level rise to the equation and see how much more frequent and severe flooding becomes.
Application Guide for the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report …
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.
sea level rise signal (i.e., combination of sea level rise and sinking lands), the probability of flooding and impacts are increasing along most U.S. coastlines.
