#Rising tide interactive address drivers
Scientists say sea levels could rise above the study's projections if the rates at which oceans warm and ice from glaciers and ice sheets melt - the two primary drivers in changes to the world's average sea levels - continue to increase. Rising Tide Interactive does this both through grassroots and grasstops advocacy. Rain and snow continued to fall across the Pacific Northwest Friday, causing flooding and concerns about avalanche danger in the mountains.

"Without additional risk-reduction measures, U.S.
approximately $2.6 billion and caused at least seven deaths, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The report predicted more frequent, major and destructive high tide flooding events along with taller storm surges by 2050 after scientists determined high tide flooding has been "increasingly common" over the past few years due to rising sea levels. They also used historical tide gauge observations, satellite data and model projections for their predictions. For this year's report, scientists from several government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Geological Survey, utilized adjusted temporal trajectories and exceedance probabilities, as well as new data developed specifically for this research. The report, titled the Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Report, is an update to findings from 2017.
