ARSET - Sea Level Change Tools for Planning and Decision Support
Start Date:
June 10, 2025
End Date:
June 17, 2025
Description:
Global sea level has been rising at a rate of 3 mm/yr as a result of climate change, and this rate will continue to increase sea level over the next century. Scientists use observations from the ground, air, and space, along with theoretical models and scenarios of future emissions, to monitor and study past, present, and future sea-level rise. This information is a fundamental basis for mitigation, adaptation, and risk management planning in all parts of the world and across many elements of society and ecosystems. This two-part introductory webinar series will focus on NASA products and tools available to assess historical sea-level rise, access and understand projections of sea level, and investigate impacts. Participants will be exposed to the causes behind regional and global sea-level changes and explore climate and analysis tools to access, visualize, and perform statistical analysis using NASA data.
Targeted Audience:
Primary: Local, state, federal, and international entities, including public and private sector organizations, wanting to integrate NASA Earth observations and IPCC projections of sea-level change, as well as impacts, for considerations into their climate change work in different sectors; as well as any practitioners of sea-level observations or projections.Secondary: Academics and researchers interested in NASA observations and IPCC projections of sea-level change, as well as impacts.
