Analyses

Climate Central: Colleagues at Climate Central conducted US and global analyses to put the projected 6m of eventual sea level rise in a meaningful context:

> Global-focused research summary and graphics with global number (>375 million), rankings of top nations and megacities

> Climate Central’s own coverage of the Science paper

> Zip code-searchable interactive map of the US showing land below 6m

> US-focused research summary and tables giving assessment of US national population below 6m (>23 million), plus rankings and numbers for top states and cities
