FAU s Research Report (completed Jan 2012) Comprehensive analysis of SLR projections, studies, models and methodologies used in Florida. Resulting recommendations: (1) Apply U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) methodology to develop statewide and regional projections of SLR (2) Develop a sketch planning tool to identify potentially vulnerable infrastructure UF GeoPlan Center Research * Implement FAU recommendations * Phase 1: Feb 2012 - Oct 2013, Phase 2: Dec 2013 August 2015
Map Inundation: Map where & when inundation is projected to occur in Florida. Use USACE methods to develop statewide and regional sea level change projections by decade 1992-2100. Develop GIS planning tool to facilitate identification of transportation infrastructure potentially at risk to projected sea level changes.

Mapping SLR Inundation: Output Data Layers Hundreds of GIS layers, each representing a SLR Scenario: Where Scenario = Region, Year, Projection, Tidal Datum Region: statewide or for FDOT District Year: decadal intervals, 2040 2100 USACE Projection: (1) low/ historic, (2) intermediate (3) high Tidal Datums: MHHW, MHW, MSL, MLW, MLLW Model output: Bathtub and hydro-connected inundation
SLR Inundation Data Layers Inundation with Hydroconnectivity filter Bathtub Inundation
Intersected inundation layers with transportation layers: roadways, rails, rail freight connectors, SIS airports, SIS sea ports Focus on State owned facilities Planning horizons: 2040, 2060, 2080, 2100 Outputs: GIS layers identifying potentially at-risk transportation facilities w/ approximate miles or area affected/ inundated
Map Inundation: Map where & when inundation is projected to occur in Florida. Use USACE methods to develop statewide and regional sea level change projections by decade 1992-2100. Develop GIS planning tool to facilitate identification of transportation infrastructure potentially at risk to projected sea level changes.
Map Viewer Visualize areas of inundation and affected infrastructure Low technical expertise needed, no GIS software needed GIS Data Layers SLR Inundation Surfaces & Affected Infrastructure layers GIS Software and intermediate GIS expertise needed SLR Inundation Surface Calculator Create custom inundation layers Intermediate/ Advanced technical/ GIS expertise needed
Map Viewer - Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool Map Viewers available by FDOT District (7 districts in FL) View animation of projected inundation over time periods (2040-2100)
Map Viewer - Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool View transportation facilities potentially exposed to inundation various SLR scenarios. Available transportation layers by scenario
Map Viewer - Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool View details about affected facilities/ infrastructure under various SLR scenarios
Inputs: NOAA tide gauge data USACE curve Year (decade 2020-2100) Tidal Datum DEM Outputs Bathtub model Hydro-connectivity filter Vector & Raster formats Currently supported on ArcMap 10.1 and 10.2.2, requires Spatial Analyst
Data Enhancements: Update transportation layers Add critical facilities Create bridge deck elevation layer Add NOAA SLR curves? Tool Enhancements: Map Viewer update Improvements to SLR Calculator Add other inundation risks Storm surge & inland flooding
