Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture sea level rise data
The Sea Level Rise app allows anyone to map the flooding in their community, helping document sea level rise and other flooding impacts.
While virtually everyone in and around a low-lying coastal region is or will be affected by sea level rise, we started our work in Hampton Roads, Virginia and have learned from the mapping efforts of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Developed by Wetlands Watch, this app moves us in the direction of being a better informed and connected community so we can stay ahead of sea level rise.
Access user-submitted information about this global phenomena and participate (as a volunteer) in capturing the street-level data we need to better understand and solve the challenges it brings! With the app, you can:
• Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture the localized data researchers and civic leaders require, but lack
• Find and add nearby "Trouble" spots where high water affects your travel during times of inclement weather
• Capture and share photos that document what's occurring in your community
• Access specific collaboration spaces, called regions, where you can manage volunteers and schedule mapping events

Sea Level Rise is a turn-based strategy game that simulates the effects of climate change on coastal cities. Players take on the role of city planners and must manage their city's resources, infrastructure, and population to adapt to rising sea levels and other climate-related challenges.
The game is played on a map of a coastal city, which is divided into hexagonal tiles. Each tile represents a different type of land use, such as residential, commercial, or industrial. Players can build structures on tiles to improve their city's economy, population, and defenses.
The game's main challenge is to manage the city's resources, which include water, food, and energy. These resources are essential for the city's survival, but they are also vulnerable to climate change. Rising sea levels can contaminate water supplies, flooding can destroy crops, and extreme weather events can damage energy infrastructure.
Players must carefully plan their city's development to ensure that it can withstand the effects of climate change. They must build seawalls to protect the city from flooding, invest in renewable energy sources to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, and develop sustainable farming practices to ensure a reliable food supply.
In addition to managing resources, players must also manage the city's population. As sea levels rise, people will be forced to relocate to higher ground. Players must plan for this by building new housing and infrastructure in safe areas.
Sea Level Rise is a challenging and thought-provoking game that provides a unique perspective on the effects of climate change. It is a valuable tool for educating players about the importance of climate adaptation and resilience.
Gameplay
The game is played over a series of turns. Each turn, players can perform a variety of actions, such as:
* Build structures
* Upgrade structures
* Move population
* Research new technologies
* Trade with other players
Players must carefully consider their actions each turn, as they will have a significant impact on the city's development.
Winning the Game
The game is won by the player who can best adapt their city to the effects of climate change. The game ends when the sea level has risen to a predetermined level. The player with the highest score at the end of the game is the winner.
Score
Players are awarded points for a variety of factors, including:
* Population
* Economy
* Infrastructure
* Climate adaptation measures
Conclusion
Sea Level Rise is a well-designed and engaging game that provides a unique perspective on the effects of climate change. It is a valuable tool for educating players about the importance of climate adaptation and resilience.
