Application Guide for the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report
Failure to curb emissions could lead to an additional 1.5 to 5 feet of rise by 2100. Step-by-Step Implementation Framework
Develop short-, medium-, and long-term solution sets, such as nature-based defenses or elevating infrastructure. Key Planning Principles SLR(2022)
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.
Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding. Critical infrastructure generally requires planning for higher-impact, lower-probability scenarios. Application Guide for the 2022 Sea Level Rise
Sea levels are projected to rise by an average of 10–12 inches (0.25–0.3 meters) .
Identify the project type, specific area, and functional goals. Evaluate the project's sensitivity to flooding
Establish the planning horizon (e.g., 2050, 2100) based on the asset's expected lifespan.
