Abstract:
As the human society is facing potentially significant environmental impacts due to climate change, accurate impact assessments of sea level rise (SLR) are also critically needed. In this study, to conduct reliable SLR projection and inundation assessment, an integrated modeling framework is proposed and the application of this methodology is demonstrated for the State of Florida, USA. This framework utilizes a dynamic system model (DSM) with spatial analysis capability to predict the regional sea level change. The DSM projections are then used for geographic information system (GIS) based inundation analysis. Results show that the proposed methodology provides reliable inundation assessment for the likely scenario of spatially variable SLR over the 21st century and can be utilized in other coastal regions of the world to aid management decision in a timely manner.
