In South Florida, sea levels have already risen several inches since the start of the century and could be around six feet higher by 2100. But another factor could be making those sunny day floods ...
Sea surface height change from 1992 to 2019: Blue regions are where sea level has gone down, and orange/red regions are where sea level has risen (the visualization is based on satellite data). [ 2 ] Between 1901 and 2018, the average sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), with an increase of 2.3 mm (0.091 in) per year since the 1970s.
Miami has been described as "ground zero" for climate change and sea level rise." [90] The Miami-Dade County Office of Resilience has implemented climate programs and a Climate Action Plan, [91] [92] and there is a Sea Level Rise Committee. [93] Protecting the water supply and the Biscayne Aquifer is a priority. [23] [24] [25]
Several proposed sites in Miami-Dade County for new groundwater monitoring wells, which will help Florida International University scientists track how sea level rise is affecting South Florida ...
This map suggests the places in Broward County that could see population growth (in red) or decline (in blue) over the next few decades as sea level-rise induced flooding begins to affect property ...
Melting of the Greenland ice sheet would produce 7.2 m (23.6 ft) of sea-level rise, and melting of the Antarctic ice sheet would produce 61.1 m (200.5 ft) of sea level rise. [7] The collapse of the grounded interior reservoir of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would raise sea level by 5 m (16.4 ft) - 6 m (19.7 ft).
University of Florida researchers built 3D model of what sea level rise could look like in Cedar Key. Resilience projects built in the last several years will be put to the test during Hurricane ...
At 345 feet (105 m) above mean sea level, Britton Hill in northern Walton County is the highest point in Florida and the lowest known highpoint of any U.S. state. [3] Much of the state south of Orlando is low-lying and fairly level; however, some places, such as Clearwater, feature vistas that rise 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 m) above the water.
