Visualizing Sea Level Rise Impacts with NOAA and NASA Tools
Interactive Maps for Coastal Communities
NOAA's Sea Level Rise map viewer provides an invaluable tool for communities to visualize the potential impacts of coastal flooding and sea level rise. This interactive tool allows users to enter specific locations and view detailed projections of how different levels of sea level rise, up to 10 feet, could affect their surroundings.
NASA's Projections and Global Trends
NASA's Sea Level Projection Tool offers a complementary resource, providing visualizations and downloadable data based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report. This tool allows users to explore projections for different emissions scenarios and time periods, enhancing understanding of long-term sea level trends.
Historical Trends and Vulnerable Areas
A map embedded in this page presents global sea level trends observed from 1993 to 2022 by various satellite missions. This data provides insights into the ongoing rise of sea levels and identifies areas of concern worldwide. Moreover, data analysis from the Sea Level Rise Viewer has been utilized to create an interactive map illustrating how today's flood-prone regions were often marshlands in the past.
Visualizing 30 Years of Sea Level Rise
An animated visualization is also available, showcasing global sea level trends from 1993 to 2022. This visualization offers a powerful representation of the observed changes in sea levels and their implications for coastal ecosystems and human populations.
