2. Projected sea level rise 1990 to 2100, excluding effects from potential ice sheet collapse.
-Climate Change 2100, IPCC Third Assessment Report, “The Scientific Basis”

3. Elevation data collected during Spring 2006 topographic LIDAR survey is used
for inundation estimates.

4. Selected sites in San Diego
County were chosen
to show different scenarios portraying the effects of
sea level rise.

5. Oceanside * Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

6. Del Mar * Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

7. La Jolla Shores
* Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

8. Mission Beach & Bay
* Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

9. Point Loma * Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

10. Coronado * Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

11. Imperial Beach
* Effects of waves, El Niño, storm surge, and beach sand
level change are not included.

12. The Southern California Beach Processes
Study (SCBPS) is designed to improve
our understanding of beach sand transport
by waves and currents, thus improving
local and regional management of sandy
shorelines. Changes in beach sand level,
and the waves causing those changes, are
monitored over portions of the Southern
California shoreline. The observations are
provided to agencies concerned with
beach management.
