|a The city of Washington, District of Columbia (DC) will face flooding, and eventual geographic
changes, in both the short- and long-term future because of sea level rise (SLR)
brought on by climate change, including global warming. To fully assess the potential damage,
a linear model was developed to predict SLR in Washington, DC, and its results compared
to other nonlinear model results. Using geographic information systems (GIS) and graphical
visualization, analytical models were created for the city and its underlying infrastructure.
Values of SLR used in the assessments were 0.1 m for the year 2043 and 0.4 m for the year
2150 to model short-term SLR; 1.0 m, 2.5 m, and 5.0 m were used for long-term SLR. All
necessary data layers were obtained from free data banks from the U.S. Geological Survey
and Washington, DC government websites. Using GIS software, inventories of the possibly
affected infrastructure were made at different SLR. Results of the analysis show that low
SLR would lead to a minimal loss of city area. Damages to the local properties, however, are
estimated at an assessment value of at least US$2 billion based on only the direct losses of
properties listed in real estate databases, without accounting for infrastructure damages that
include military installations, residential areas, governmental property, and cultural institutions.
The projected value of lost property is in excess of US$24.6 billion at 5.0 m SLR. |
