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

<p>Database of regional sea-level rise assessment reports in the U.S.&nbsp; The data set includes nearly 400 projections from 31 reports for 54 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and accompanies the publication &quot;Evaluating Knowledge Gaps in Sea-level Rise Assessments from the United States&quot;, Garner et al., <em>Earth&#39;s Future</em>.&nbsp; The data set is comprised of the most recent published assessment reports for each location (deadline of December 31<sup>st</sup>, 2021). Fields included in the database are listed below. &nbsp;</p> <p>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. &nbsp;</p> <p>1) Title of the Assessment Report</p> <p>2) Region of focus for the projection</p> <p>3) Broader geographical region for the projection (U.S. Northeast, U.S. South, or U.S. West)</p> <p>4) Latitude of the projection</p> <p>5) Longitude of the projection</p> <p>6) Lead Author of the report</p> <p>7) Sectors with which the authors are affiliated</p> <p>8) Third-party report flag (Yes = not locally produced, No = locally produced)</p> <p>9) Year the report was published</p> <p>10) Year the previous iteration of the report was published, if applicable</p> <p>11) Methodology of the projection</p> <p>12) Emission scenario used for the project</p> <p>13) Baseline year for the projection</p> <p>14) End year for the projection</p> <p>15) Lower estimate of sea-level rise</p> <p>16) Definition of the lower estimate of sea-level rise</p> <p>17) Central estimate of sea-level rise</p> <p>18) Definition of the central estimate of sea-level rise</p> <p>19) Upper estimate of sea-level rise</p> <p>20) Definition of the upper estimate of sea-level rise</p> <p>21) Vertical Land Motion (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>22) Land Water Storage (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>23) Greenland Ice Sheet (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>24) Antarctic Ice Sheet (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>25) Glaciers (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>26) Thermal Expansion (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>27) Ocean Dynamics (Yes = included, No = excluded)</p> <p>28) Link to the report containing the projection</p> <p>29) Notes relevant to the projection&#39;s database entry</p>
