Mapping Choices: Which sea level will we lock in? × Lock-In | Timing | Choices | Impacts | Sources | Help | Team | Funding | Legal Introduction Reading Sea level timing is critical for a clear understanding of when the sea level rise shown on these maps could occur in the future. These maps are based on peer-reviewed scientific research led by Benjamin Strauss and Scott Kulp of Climate Central in collaboration with Anders Levermann of the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research , and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America . Application of this research to areas outside the U.S. is detailed in the Mapping Choices re...
