Use your answers and maps from today's lab to write your report, describing the influence on the coast of Staten Island of: a hurricane causing a 20' storm surge, and sea level rise due to global warming. Sea level rise is predicted to be up to 2.5 feet by 2080. If the West Antarctic ice sheet melts, sea evel would rise by 16.5 feet and it would rise by a further 20 feet if the Greenland ice sheet melts (both would probably take a few centuries). Melting all the ice sheets in the world may take up to a thousand years, but would raise sea level by over 200 feet!
