Explore Sea Level Rise Tools, Services, and Educational Material (2024)

The Sea Level Rise Technical Report provides the most up-to-date sea level rise projections available for all U.S. states and territories.

This companion guide provides assistance with incorporating sea level rise projections into community planning initiatives.

View highlights and key takeaways from the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report, with a focus on the impacts on coastal communities.

Use this web mapping tool to visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise (up to 10 feet above average high tides).

Inundation Dashboard provides real-time and historic coastal flooding information, using both a map-based view and a more detailed station view.

NOAA’s Monthly High Tide Flooding Outlook provides the daily likelihood of high tide flooding each day in the calendar year, up to a year in advance, for specific locations.

NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) provides data, tools and analysis related to changing ocean conditions.

Jumpstart community discussions about local coastal flooding hazards by developing maps that show the people, places, and natural resources at risk.

Turn complex county-level data into easy-to-understand charts and graphics — use this tool to create printable handouts that help articulate your community resilience message.

The Effects of Sea Level Rise Program provides a suite of tools for evaluating coastal vulnerability under multiple sea level rise, inundation, and coastal management scenarios.

This site offers a great starting place to learn about coastal inundation and available resources.

This tool measures relative sea level trends, with arrows representing the direction and magnitude of change.

NASA keeps track of sea level change and its causes from space. Find out more about how NASA satellite observations help our understanding of this complex topic.

The online Sea Level Change Curve Calculator is a web-based tool that produces a table and graph of projected sea level changes for projects input by users.

Explore concepts and data points based on NOAA's "Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for United States" report, published in January 2017.

The Coastal Change Hazards Portal offers interactive access to coastal change science and data for our nation’s coasts.

The Hazard Exposure and Reporting Analytics (HERA) website helps communities understand how natural hazards could impact their land, people, infrastructure, and livelihoods.

This learning module informs about sea level rise, its causes, and impacts; and challenges students to think about what they can do in response.

In this role playing game, your job is to make smart decisions that will increase your coastal city’s resilience to climate change - especially sea level rise!

Resources offering an extensive framework to share the vision of an ocean-literate society and the range of knowledge required to be considered ocean literate.

On average, sea level is rising around the globe. However, sea level is changing at different rates in different coastal regions as a result of many interacting processes.

High tide flooding—flooding that leads to public inconveniences such as road closures — is increasingly common as coastal sea levels rise.

A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level.

Most people are surprised to learn that the surface of the ocean is not flat, and that the surface of the sea changes at different rates around the globe.

Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades.

Like land, the surface of the ocean is not flat or uniform. But unlike land – for the most part – it can change in short order.

In this episode, we talk with two members of the Federal Sea Level Rise Task Force about the new Sea Level Rise Technical Report, released in 2022.
