Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States
The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force, jointly convened by the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and the National Ocean Council (NOC), began its work in August 2015. The Task Force has focused …
Delaware Coastal Inundation Maps
A new topographic DEM was used to develop bathtub-model coastal inundation maps for the state of Delaware. Both maps and GIS data layers are available from this project.
Avoiding and Minimizing Risk of Flood Damage to State Assets: A Guide for Delaware State Agencies
An easy-to-use guide that will help state agencies evaluate and avoid both existing flood risk and future risks posed by climate change during the planning and design of public building and infrastructure projects. Changes in sea levels, temperatures, …
UNNATURAL COASTAL FLOODS: Sea level rise and the human fingerprint on U.S. floods since 1950
Human-caused climate change is contributing to global sea level rise and consequently aggravating coastal floods. This analysis removes the assessed human-caused component in global sea level from hourly water level records since 1950 at 27 U.S. tide g …
Green Infrastructure Primer
The Green Infrastructure Primer provides an introduction to green infrastructure projects and their benefits, as well as information on selecting, building, and maintaining them. It provides an overview of the benefits of green infrastructure and an in …
Climate Framework for Delaware
Delaware’s Cabinet Committee on Climate and Resiliency was set up in 2013 to guide state agencies through the process of implementing and carrying out Executive Order 41: Preparing Delaware for Emerging Climate Impacts and Seizing Economic Opportunitie …
Sea Level Rise and Nuisance Flood Frequency Changes around the United States
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) water level (tide) gauges have been measuring water levels around the U.S. for over a century, providing clear evidence of sea level rise relative to land (SLRrel) around most of the continenta …
Delaware Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment
This document will be used by the Delaware Sea Level Rise Advisory Committee and other stakeholders to guide development of sea level rise adaptation strategies.
Delaware Sea-Level Rise Initiative Project Compendium 2011
The purpose of the Sea Level Rise Initiative Compendium of Projects is to provide an at-a-glance inventory of the projects and initiatives are being conducted as part of the Delaware Coastal Programs’ Sea Level Rise Initiative. It is intended to help i …
A Data GAP Analysis and Inland Inundation Survey for the Delaware Coastline:Final Report and Recommendations
The GAP Analysis defines the present state of coastal data collection efforts across the state, suggests an “optimum” data collection network for coastal flood monitoring and research, identifies “gaps” in the present network of stations and recommends data that need to be added to the current network configuration.
