With its increasing ability to measure both glacier melt and sea level rise, NASA is hoping to more accurately predict what the future may hold. Here's what projections say could be in store for San Francisco in 30 years.
"And so together, the ice sheets are now contributing five times the amount of sea level that they did back in the 1990s. And together, they're contributing more than 25% of all the sea level contribution that's happening," Schlegel said.
"So with this tool, you can take the information about long-term sea level rise that we know is happening because of climate change, and connect that to the number of high flood flight days you expect to see in the future at any particular location along the coast," Hamlington said. David Lewis is with the environmental group Save the Bay and sees the data as both an opportunity and a wake-up call.
