Sea Level Rise In California
Please refer only to the particular segment based on the grade level of the students:-
High School (Section A)
Undergraduates (Section B)
Section A
Explore the topic in an interactive and engaging manner by using the visualization (maps and tools), OCOF Our Coast Our Future Flood Map.
Facilitate an activity in which students can change the amounts of sea-level rise and storm scenario frequency, and observe the corresponding effects for specific locations on the coast of California.
Compare and discuss various flooding scenarios and the vulnerability of different locations.
Section B
Explore the topic through a hands-on classroom/laboratory activity, Mapping Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise at Point Reyes National Seashore.
In this activity, students will examine actual data for sea-level change, and will perform data analysis and calculations in MS Excel to determine coastal vulnerability and shoreline response to sea-level rise.
Conduct the activity described in the PowerPoint presentation.
