Integrated Projections and Analysis of Sea Level Rise: Impacts on U.S. Coastal Regions

This paper addresses the critical issue of sea level rise due to climate change through comprehensive analysis and projections. Our approach integrates satellite data, climate models, and socioeconomic factors to assess vulnerabilities and risks to coastal areas. Key findings include significant global temperature increases leading to accelerated glacier melting and rising sea levels, disproportionately impacting the U.S. coastline. Major coastal cities in the U.S. face increased risks of flooding, storm surges, and erosion, resulting in potential widespread displacement, property loss, and adverse health outcomes. The economic consequences are substantial, with key sectors such as tourism, real estate, and fisheries facing direct threats. We provide evidence-based recommendations for targeted mitigation and adaptation strategies to address these challenges.
