Sea Level Rise Viewer
Description
Get Local Using NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer
This popular tool is easy-to-use at its basic level; it also has lots of "hidden" features that make it even more powerful. For instance, the local scenarios tab allows users to zoom into an area of interest and view sea level impacts by scenario or year. These options give users the ability to explore when a location will be at risk for widespread flooding (“View by Scenario”) and assess which sea level rise scenario to plan for (“View by Year”). Even better, there's a tutorial to teach you the ropes. It walks users through real-life examples, provides opportunities to practice, and shares context and additional information. If you have questions about the tool, email coastal.info@noaa.gov.
