Global Sea Level Rise
Assessment
One consequence of global warming and climate change is that sea level is rising. With warming temperatures, glaciers and ice sheets covering land are melting into the ocean. The volume of water in the ocean is rising. Cities around the world are concerned about problems resulting from sea level rise, such as higher storm surges and flooding. You are on a team looking to identify which cities are at highest risk due to rising sea level.
