Resources Related to Sea Level Rise and Climate Change
NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer
A very easy to use tool that provides an overview of the scope of impacts associated with SLR between 1 and 6 feet. An overview of the tool,support information, and introductory videos can be found at: http://coast.noaa .gov/digitalcoast/tools/slr .
Or, launch the viewer directly at: http://coast.noaa .gov/slr/ .
Surging Seas – Sea Level Rise Analysis by Climate Central
Of particular interest is their tool called “Mapping Choices” that shows predicted sea level rise as a function of carbon dioxide levels.You can see how much sea level rise is “locked in” for various levels of carbon dioxide reduction (i.e.,none, minor, moderate, or extreme carbon cuts). http://sealevel .climatecentral.org/
Skeptical Science – A Layman’s Guide to the Peer-Reviewed Science of Climate Change
An incredible educational resource about climate change that is organized around the most-used climate “myths” you may encounter. Is it the sun? Do scientists disagree? Click through the many arguments against climate change and read basic, intermediate, or advanced explanations (you choose!) of the topic all based on peer-reviewed scientific literature.
