"This report describes coastal and related geological processes, discusses how predicted global climate change could result in changes in sea level and modification of rates of coastal erosion, and uses information drawn from several sources to derive a system for rating the sensitivity of Canadian coasts to changes in sea level. Segments of Canada's coasts that are most sensitive to changes in sea level are identified. Critical regions where detailed studies should be conducted are discussed to determine the probable local impact of sea-level change and the development of the best mitigative measures."--Preface.

One of 21 climate change synthesis and assessment products commissioned by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), this report examines the effects of sea level rise, impacts on society, and opportunities to prepare for those consequences, focusing on the eight coastal states from New York to North Carolina. Using scientific literature and policy documents, the report describes potential changes to barrier.

"Regional mean sea levels in many coastal locations off Canada have been rising in the past century, similar to the rise in global mean sea level. Existing scientific literature and high profile assessments (such as by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) give a wide range of estimates for future global mean sea level rise. At the regional or local scales, the ranges or uncertainties are even larger. What Canada needs is a thorough compilation of plausible sea level rise (SLR) scenarios at actionable scales (i.e., local or regional). Here we develop regional mean SLR scenarios for Canada, Low, Intermediate and High, based on three global mean SLR scenarios. The global scenarios are adjusted for three factors that affect local mean sea levels. The first factor is the net effect of the glacial isostatic adjustment from a model, with its vertical land motion further replaced by satellite Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The second is the steric and dynamic ocean effect obtained from the ensemble of global climate models. The third is the model-based land-ice melt effect. The most significant SLR will be along the southeastern Atlantic coast, the Pacific coast and the Beaufort Sea coast. Under the Intermediate Scenario and the High Scenario, the mean SLR relative to land may be up to 0.6 and 2.0 m over 2010-2100, respectively. Given the great range of uncertainty in mean SLR projections, the proposed multiple plausible scenarios allow coastal engineers and managers to consider multiple future conditions and develop multiple response options. According to the risk tolerance of infrastructure they may find the most suitable option"--Abstract.

As a result of climate change and global warming, polar ice is melting. Because of this melting, many lands are at the mercy of rising sea levels. Studies show that the mean sea level may rise by 0.16 to 0.63 metres before 2050, and 0.2 to 2.5 metres by 2100. In general, lower-lying islands are more likely to be close to the sea level, and that means these islands are particularly susceptible to sea level rise (SLR) risks. One of these islands is Failka, a small island in Kuwait lying in the entrance of Kuwait Bay, which is located on the north-western side of the Arabian Gulf. Most of Failka is less than three metres above sea level. The governmental plans are to develop the islands, which will be a very complicated issue. This study focuses particularly on detecting the areas of Failka Island which are under threat from sea level rise using Geoinformatics. Through spatial analysis of the SRTM DEM, three scenarios were calculated (1, 2 and 3 metres of SLR). These scenarios find that 31% of the island may disappear if the SLR is 1 metre; 54% could be underwater if the SLR is 2 metres; and 87% may disappear if the SLR is 3 metres. Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) was computed too. The CVI shows that the eastern coast is the most susceptible coast with regard to SLR. The model was calibrated through geostatistical analysis. Ground elevation points (n = 40) were extracted from the GPS altitude to show the model’s accuracy. The correlation was positive, where the was 0.8019. This study shows the importance of GIS and RS to help decision-makers in their future planning.
