There is a growing area of science and technology that wetland managers and scientists are using to better understand the impact of sea level rise on coastal wetlands. Here are tools of the trade: webinars, videos, climate change/sea level rise models, modules, toolkits and training opportunities on how to use these tools.

NOAA Coastal Services Center
NOAA’s Digital Coast Website offers a collection of tools and resources that can be useful for various aspects of a community’s risk assessment. Most of these tools and resources are briefly introduced during the Roadmap for Adapting to Coastal Risk training. Some tools currently available include sea level rise tools for CT, GreenSeams (a flood management program), a NOAA Roadmap training presentation, example assessment maps and other tools for climate change adaptation in coastal areas.

Webinar to be held on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 - Presenter(s): Mark Finkbeiner, NOAA Coastal Services Center To manage resources on a regional basis, coastal professionals must integrate data from various sources collected with different methods. The Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) provides a new national framework for incorporating data on all the major components of the landscape and seascape, collected by methods ranging from satellite imagery to grab samples. This webinar will introduce the structure of the CMECS system, describe how it can be used in the environment, and present examples of CMECS spatial data products. The webinar will also address ways that this national standard can be applied to coastal issues. For more information and to register for the webinar, click here.

The free assessment tool, created by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), uses data from the UK Climate Projections program to forecast the effect changing rainfall patterns, increasing temperatures and rising sea levels will have on wetlands. For full story, click here. |

Delaware Coastal Programs
The Delaware Sea Level Rise Advisory Committee has been assessing the potential future impacts of sea level rise on Delaware and will be holding five public engagement sessions over the course of the month of November. Each session will feature informative presentations, displays staffed by subject matter experts and committee members, and opportunities to provide comments and feedback. For additional information, including a full list of the dates, times, and locations of the public engagement sessions, click here. For those unable to attend in person, copies of the presentations, displays, and handouts from the sessions will be available online by November 15th.

NOAA Digital Coast webinar series presented Marshes on the Move: A Manager’s Guide to Understanding and Using Model Results Depicting Potential Sea Level Rise Impacts on Coastal Wetlands which was held on Wednesday, December 7, 2011. Presenter(s): Nate Herold and Nancy Cofer-Shabica, NOAA Coastal Services Center; Adam Whelchel and Roger Fuller, The Nature Conservancy. The scientific community is generally in agreement that global sea level is rising and coastal marshes are changing as a result. Understanding where and how coastal environments will change in response to sea level rise, however, is a complex modeling challenge dependent upon many factors. This webinar will help participants understand key considerations and questions to ask when presented with models and maps estimating the future condition and location of coastal wetlands in response to rising sea level. In this webinar, participants will gain a basic understanding of some key parameters and uncertainties associated with these models; hear from technical specialists regarding real world implications of model results; and learn how to more effectively incorporate modeling results into management initiatives.

NOAA's Digital Coast, Coastal Services Center has developed a sea level rise tool called CanVis. CanVis is a visualization program used to "see" potential impacts from coastal development or sea level rise. Users can download background pictures and insert the objects (hotel, house, marina, or other objects) of their choosing. The software is used by municipalities to brainstorm new ideas and policies, undertake project planning, and make presentations. For more information, click here. For other Digital Coast tools, click here.
