Sea level rise will vary regionally along U.S. coasts because of changes in both land and ocean height. On average, rise in the next three decades is anticipated to be: East Coast: 10-14 inches 0.25 - 0.35 meters. West Coast: 4-8 inches 0.1 - 0.2 meters. Gulf Coast: 14-18 inches 0.35 - 0.45 meters.

National Sea Level Explorer. Explore past, present and future sea level change and impacts. There are five sea level scenarios representing the range of SLR futures out to 2150. These scenarios consider a variety of processes that could influence sea level across a wide range of future warming conditions. They are defined by target values of ...
Feb 24, 2022 · A new interagency report, published by the U.S. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force, concluded that sea level along the U.S. coastline is projected to rise an average of 10–12 inches (0.25–0.30 meters) in the next 30 years (2020–2050). This will be as much as the rise measured over the last 100 years (1920–2020).
Feb 15, 2022 · The report projects that sea levels will rise an average of 10 to 12 inches by 2050, which is about as much as the increase during the 100 years from 1920 to 2020. Those projections don’t change ...
This Sea Level Rise infographics page provides two infographics summarizing key points of the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report. This multi-agency effort, representing the first update since 2017, offers projections out to the year 2150 and information to help communities assess potential changes in average tide heights and height-specific threshold frequencies as they strive to adapt to ...
At the global scale, sea level is rising, and its pace has quickened. Measured at tide gauges on every continent and by satellites from space, global average sea level rose about 10-12 inches over the last 100 years (1920-2020). Now, oceanographers expect an additional 10-12 inches of global sea level rise in the next 30 years (2020-2050). 1.
