|a The potential impacts of sea level rise (SLR) on 95% of the land areas of
the Florida Keys were estimated through analysis of a digital elevationmodel (DEM)
derived from airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurements in a
geographic information system. The topographic detail of the LiDAR DEM allowed
projections of land, population, and property inundation in 0.15 m increments across
a broad range of SLR scenarios for the next century. The results showed that a
0.6 m SLR by 2100 would inundate about 70% of the total land surface, but smaller
percentages of the population (17%) and real property (12%). A 1.5 m rise in
sea level during the same period would inundate 91% of the land surface, 71% of
the population and 68% of property in the study area. Comparison of inundation
dynamics indicates that the Lower Florida Keys are more susceptible to SLR than
the Upper Florida Keys. The inundation dynamics exhibit non-linear behavior and
demonstrate tipping points in inundation processes beyond which the inundation of
land, population, and property speeds up. Acceleration of SLR will amplify the nonlinear
inundation, causing tipping points to be reached sooner. |
