Sea level rise of 0.2–0.3 meters is likely by 2050. In these conditions what is currently a 100-year flood would occur every year in the New Zealand cities of Wellington and Christchurch. With 0.5 m sea level rise, a current 100-year flood in Australia would occur several times a year.
The forecasts that sea levels along the U.S. shoreline will rise 10-12 inches (25-30cm) on average by 2050. Sea levels will tend to be higher along the Atlantic and Gulf shores, because of greater ...
Using peer-reviewed sea level rise projections and local elevation from Climate Central’s models, the findings show compelling visuals that paint a stark contrast between the world as we know it ...
English: This report and accompanying datasets from the U.S. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force provide 1) sea level rise scenarios to 2150 by decade that include estimates of vertical land motion and 2) a set of extreme water level probabilities for various heights along the U.S. coastline.
The sea-level rise projection reflects the findings of a 2022 federal report, which also said ocean levels will increase, and accelerate, after 2050. NC science panel says coast will see at least ...

Thanks to climate change, sea levels along the coastline of the United States will rise between 10 and 12 inches by 2050, a new interagency U.S. government report concludes.
The impact of sea level rise will depend greatly on the amount of rise which occurs, an estimate that falls between 3 inches (76 mm) and more than 40 inches (1,000 mm) within the next 100 years. [1] An increase of two feet in sea level will cover an area of the state close to 56 square miles (150 km 2) and would affect 44,429 Washington residences.
