Dogpatch, the sea is rising (0, 3 and 6 feet)

Sea-level rise, caused by the melting of land ice and the thermal expansion of warming water, is a significant climate change threat to coastal regions. Global sea-level has risen by 7-8 inches between 1900 and 2016 and the rate has increased to about 1/8" per year. The most recent scientific estimates for San Francisco Bay were released in 2018 by the California Ocean Protection Council (a government appointed council). Projections for 2050 are relatively modest with a likely increase of 1-foot. However, by 2100 the likely projection puts sea-level rise at between 3- to 6-feet on average. The range of projections is affected by whether carbon emission levels fall significantly or if they continue at current levels.
Using sea-level rise maps published by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, I have created a series of artworks showing the present cityscape and the impact of 3-feet and 6-feet of sea level rise on the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco.
