I think the 2030 sea level rise (SLR) maps for my region are unreliable. Does this mean the longer-term maps are wrong?
The sea level rise (SLR) maps presented in En-ROADS are risk maps of potential flooding. If you believe the 2030 maps might be unreliable, there is still go...

Why do the sea level rise (SLR) maps show so much “Land at risk” (blue) in 2030?
The near-term 2030 sea level rise (SLR) maps may show large areas of “Land at risk.” This is because, even today, many lower elevation coastal areas are at ...

What does the “Land saved by actions” (green) area in sea level rise (SLR) maps represent?
The sea level rise (SLR) maps presented in En-ROADS are risk maps of potential flooding. After moving action/policy sliders in En-ROADS, the green color of ...

What does the “Land at risk” (dark blue) area in sea level rise (SLR) maps represent?
The sea level rise (SLR) maps presented in En-ROADS are risk maps of potential flooding. They do not show land area that will absolutely be under water in a...
