In order to predict the impacts of climate change induced sea-level rise
on Pacific Northwest coastal habitats, the Sea Level Affecting Marshes
Model (SLAMM) was utilized to simulate future coastal habitat
configurations under various sea-level rise scenarios. The model was run
for 2025, 2050, 2075, and 2100. Historical or "initial
condition" habitat classifications are also available for some
sites. The sea-level rise scenarios include:
1. A1B greenhouse gas emission mean : 0.39
meter rise by 2100
2. A1B greenhouse gas emission maximum : 0.69 meter
rise by 2100
3. 1 meter rise by 2100
4. 1.5 meter rise by 2100
5. 2 meter rise by 2100
Due to differing site conditions, local sea-level
rise varies slightly from these figures, and the exact sea-level rise
used by the model for each site can be found on page 29 of the report
linked below.
This dataset includes data for site 4, which covers
the city of Everett and Snohomish estuary in the Puget Sound. Further
