We present a new geospatial dataset that describes both the extent and depth of inundation in the United States and outlying territories under global scenarios of sea-level rise. This new dataset incorporates projections from the 2022 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) technical report: Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States and integrates elements from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sea-Level Rise Calculator. It provides users with intuitive access to relevant GIS data layers, enabling detailed analysis and visualization of potential scenario-based changes in mean sea level due to sea-level rise. This paper outlines the methodology, processing steps, and data validation involved in the dataset development, emphasizing the steps taken to further tailor information from the NOAA technical report to enhance the utility for spatial adaptation planning. These new geospatial datasets can provide critical insight for policymakers, researchers, planners, and others concerned with adapting to sea-level rise in coastal areas.
Flooding on military installations can threaten mission-essential functions and critical DOD assets. Identification of flood occurrence and future change is therefore needed to anticipate and mitigate adverse consequences. To meet this need, the DOD Extreme Conditions Assessment Tool (DECAT) provides the military depar...

Sea level rise (SLR) is a direct and measurable impact of climate variability, posing substantial risks to coastal ecosystems. This study employes NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer to evaluate potential ecological change under four SLR scenarios (1, 2, 4, and 6 ft) within the Manokin Watershed, Somerset County, Maryland. Th...

Extreme sea level (ESL) inundation poses a growing risk for Pacific Island Countries (PICs), yet few nationwide inundation maps exist to inform national-scale flood risk management. This study presents a new dataset of ESL inundation maps for Vanuatu. ESL inundation was mapped for all inhabited islands (n = 65) by (i)...

Broad-scale coastal flood risk assessments (CFR) face several methodological limitations and require modeling simplifications, leading to a cascade of uncertainties. Yet the relative influence of these uncertainties remains poorly quantified. To this end, we have developed a global sensitivity analysis that considers t...

Extreme sea level (ESL), a major driver of coastal flooding, is widely used as a benchmark for coastal engineering design, coastal zone management, and risk assessment. With global warming, ESL events are projected to become more frequent and intense along most of the world’s coastline. Previous work has estimated th...
