Prerequisites

By the end of this training attendees will be able to:

1. Identify underlying Earth processes contributing to relative sea-level change at global and regional scales.

2. Recognize remote sensing and modeled data used for assessing sea level change on a regional to global scale.

3. Describe how coastal communities and infrastructure can be impacted by flooding caused by sea level change.

4. Demonstrate how to assess the processes contributing to past and future sea-level change with the Sea Level Explorer tool–at global and regional scales.

5. Demonstrate how to access future projections of relative sea-level change under different emissions scenarios with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) Projection Tool.

6. Visualize oceanic and groundwater flooding maps with the Pacific Islands Flooding Tool.

• Primary: Local, state, federal, and international entities, including public and private sector organizations, wanting to integrate NASA Earth observations and IPCC projections of sea-level change, as well as impacts, for considerations into their work in different sectors; as well as any practitioners of sea-level observations or projections.
• Secondary: Academics and researchers interested in NASA observations and IPCC projections of sea-level change, as well as impacts.

• Two, 1.5-hour parts
• An identical session for each part will be offered at two different times of day.
• A certificate of attendance will be offered to those who attend both parts live and complete the homework by the due date.
