SEA CHANGE: Developing Strategies for Rising Sea Levels and Ocean Acidification Background Readings
RESOURCE RELEVANCE SUMMARY
1. Sea Level Rise
Background Paper
■ General Background ■ The retreat co-hosts have written this paper to address the opportunity to improve sea level rise tools, strengthen the adaptive capacity of communities and increase public awareness.
2. Ocean Acidification Background Paper ■ General Background ■ The retreat co-hosts have written this paper to address steps that can be taken to improve understanding of ocean acidification and its impacts.
3. Sea Level Rise Tools Matrix (Multiple authors) ■ Tools ■ Compares six software tools that help coastal communities prepare for sea level rise.
4. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Impacts (Cazenave and Le Cozannet)
■ Tools ■ Overview of sea level rise observations, modeling, and impacts.
5. “Is California Preparing for Sea Level Rise?: The Answer is Disquieting” (Moser)
■ Preparedness ■ Summarizes survey results assessing local coastal managers’ perspectives on adapting to sea level rise.
6. “Adaptation Technologies for Coastal Erosion: A Review” (Linham and Nicholls)
■ Preparedness ■ Overview of three adaptation strategies (i.e. protect, accommodate, and retreat) and a wide range of adaptation technologies (for example, sea walls, sea dykes, wetland restoration, beach nourishment).
7. LEED the Way (Keim) ■ Preparedness ■ Summarizes how the U.S. Green Building Council maintains its standards.
8. Ocean Acidification: The Knowledge Base 2012 (iOA-RUG)
■ Ocean Acidification ■ Summarizes key ocean acidification initiatives.
9. “Connecting the Dots: A Communications Guide to Climate Change and Extreme Weather” (Climate Nexus)
■ Communication Strategies ■ Guidelines for communicating the connection between extreme weather and climate change.

10. “Nuisance Flooding” an increasing problem as coastal sea levels rise (NOAA).
■ Communication Strategies ■ Provides a list of the top ten U.S. cities that are vulnerable to flooding when there are high tides, strong storms, or hurricanes.
11. Rising Seas (National Geographic) ■ Communication Strategies ■ Provides photographs and data about the impact of sea level rise, with a focus on Superstorm Sandy.
