Database of US Regional Sea-level Rise Assessment Reports (Current for 2021)

Database of regional sea-level rise assessment reports in the U.S.  The data set includes nearly 400 projections from 31 reports for 54 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and accompanies the publication "Evaluating Knowledge Gaps in Sea-level Rise Assessments from the United States", Garner et al., Earth's Future.  The data set is comprised of the most recent published assessment reports for each location (deadline of December 31st, 2021). Fields included in the database are listed below.  

Though substantial effort was made to ensure that all available and relevant assessment reports were included in the database, it is perhaps inevitable that a small number of reports were overlooked and may not be included here.  

1) Title of the Assessment Report

2) Region of focus for the projection

3) Broader geographical region for the projection (U.S. Northeast, U.S. South, or U.S. West)

4) Latitude of the projection

5) Longitude of the projection

6) Lead Author of the report

7) Sectors with which the authors are affiliated

8) Third-party report flag (Yes = not locally produced, No = locally produced)

9) Year the report was published

10) Year the previous iteration of the report was published, if applicable

11) Methodology of the projection

12) Emission scenario used for the project

13) Baseline year for the projection

14) End year for the projection

15) Lower estimate of sea-level rise

16) Definition of the lower estimate of sea-level rise

17) Central estimate of sea-level rise

18) Definition of the central estimate of sea-level rise

19) Upper estimate of sea-level rise

20) Definition of the upper estimate of sea-level rise

21) Vertical Land Motion (Yes = included, No = excluded)

22) Land Water Storage (Yes = included, No = excluded)
