Sea Level Rise Impacts on Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance

The Sea Level Rise Impacts on Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance data set represents the results of an analysis using the boundaries for Ramsar sites designated under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and intersecting them with different elevation zones in the coastal zone to assess area and percent area that would become inundated under 1 and 2 meter sea level rise scenarios. This data set provides results for 613 sites with defined boundaries that were found to intersect with the 0-5m above mean sea level coastal zone, defined by NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data. In addition to assessing the degree of risk of inundation, the data set provides population density and percent of land that is urban within the site and within 1km and 5km buffers surrounding the site. The data set also reports on infant mortality rates within 1km and 5km buffers around the site, as a measure of poverty levels that may affect adaptive capacity.

《国际重要湿地拉姆萨尔湿地海平面上升影响数据集》展现了利用《拉姆萨尔湿地公约》下指定的拉姆萨尔湿地边界与海岸带不同海拔区域进行交集分析的结果，旨在评估在1米和2米海平面上升情景下可能被淹没的面积及百分比。该数据集针对613个具有明确边界的湿地进行了分析，这些湿地与由美国国家航空航天局航天飞机雷达测高任务（SRTM）提供的高程数据所定义的0-5米平均海平面以上的海岸带区域相交。除了评估淹没风险程度之外，数据集还提供了湿地及其周围1公里和5公里缓冲区内的人口密度以及城市化土地的百分比。此外，该数据集还报告了位于湿地周围1公里和5公里缓冲区内的婴儿死亡率，作为衡量可能影响适应性能力的贫困水平的一个指标。
