Use tools like the NASA Interagency SLR Scenario Tool to obtain data for specific tide gauges, such as the Philadelphia gauge or other local stations.
Coastal flooding is expected to occur more than 10 times as often as it does today.
Develop short-, medium-, and long-term solution sets, such as nature-based defenses or elevating infrastructure. Key Planning Principles SLR(2022)
The rise expected in the next 30 years is equivalent to the total rise witnessed over the previous 100 years.
This guide outlines the application of the , a pivotal document providing updated sea-level rise projections for the United States through 2150. It is designed for coastal decision-makers and professionals to move from scientific information to actionable community resilience. Core Projections for the U.S. Coastline Use tools like the NASA Interagency SLR Scenario
Establish the planning horizon (e.g., 2050, 2100) based on the asset's expected lifespan.
Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding. Critical infrastructure generally requires planning for higher-impact, lower-probability scenarios. Key Planning Principles The rise expected in the
Sea levels are projected to rise by an average of 10–12 inches (0.25–0.3 meters) .
