Global Warming Sea Level Rise Map

NASAs Sea Level Change Team led by Hamlington has also developed an online mapping tool to visualize the reports state-of-the-art sea level rise projections on a localized level across the US. The first graph tracks the change in global sea level since 1993 as observed by satellites. If the planet reaches 3 degrees the high-tide line could encroach above land where.

Sea level is rising as a result of ocean heating and land ice -mass loss. Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming. This image was acquired by the Landsat 7 satellite on May 14 2001.

Global Warming Sea Level Rise Map The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate.

The online map allows users to click anywhere on the global ocean and coastlines and pick any decade between 2020 and 2150. Sea level rise since the start of the 20th century has been dominated by retreat of glaciers and expansion of the ocean but the contributions of the two large ice sheets Greenland and Antarctica are. Scientists generally agree that current levels of global warming means. Sadly the rise in global sea levels reached a record high of 36 inches in 2020 alone with the rate at which sea levels are rising also doubling throughout most of the 20th century.
