What is included on this site?

This site delivers joint authoritative science-based information on sea level change on behalf of the participating agencies. At present, it delivers foundational information to help users understand:

• What sea level change means

• What is causing sea level rise

• How sea level rise differs from region to region across the globe

• How we measure sea level changes

• How scientists create scenarios for future sea level and how to interpret those scenarios

• Information on how sea level will impact communities and coastlines

• Actions coastal residents, local and regional governments and decision-makers, and the Federal Government can take to mitigate and adapt to sea level rise

The site also features a data explorer that allows users to interact and better understand:

• the science of past and future sea level rise from the 2022 Interagency Sea Level Rise Technical Report through interactive charts, graphs, and plots, coupled with audio explainers and key takeaways;

• associated impacts that sea level rise will have at specific locations, state, and regional levels on coastal flooding due to sea level rise; and

• factors that are contributing to sea level change.

Users can also download two-page PDF summaries of key messages and data for a particular location.

Finally, this site also includes direct access to downloads and key takeaways from the 2022 Technical Report, the Companion Application Guide in English and Spanish, direct data downloads of the data featured on the site, Shared Visions from the participating agencies, and information on the Interagency Task Force on Sea Level Change.
