Description: Summary
Categorized areas of priority of wetland migration in 2100 under 4.03 feet of seal level rise (SLR) using a calculated index of conservation criteria.
Description
The results of the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) were analyzed for specific conservation criteria for long-term planning that may help increase coastal resiliency in Maryland. The conservation criteria include areas that may support future wetland migration; wildlife habitat and corridors; high priority terrestrial living resources; vulnerable wetland habitat; and suitable hydric soils for wetland establishment. From these criteria, a conservation model was developed to prioritize the most important areas for wetland adaptation. The 'High' designation represents areas with the greatest potential for providing high quality wetlands habitat by 2100.
Description: Summary
Projected wetland adaptation areas within Maryland’s coastal zone under Sea-Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM).
Description
Within the Sea-Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) , it is projected that Maryland’s coastal waters will rise 1.37 feet by 2050, 2.32 feet by 2070, and 4.03 feet by 2100. This dataset visualizes the areas projected to be wetlands by each aforementioned timeframe.

Description: Summary
Projected areas of uplands that will convert to wetlands by 2100 within Maryland’s coastal zone under Sea-Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) with 4.03 feet of seal level rise (SLR).
Description
Within the Sea-Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM), it is projected that some areas of uplands will convert to wetlands by 2100. This dataset visualizes instances of wetland conversion under 4.03 feet of seal level rise (SLR).

Description: Summary
This SLAMM model visualizes land type changes by 2050 in response to a sea level rise (SLR) of 1.37 feet. Description
SLAMM uses elevation, accumulation of sediments, wetland accretion and erosion rates, and sea level rise to predicatively model long-term wetland and shoreline change. In Maryland, SLAMM was run using the best available science, including sea level rise rate identified at 1.37 feet by year 2050. The resulting changes to coastal marshes and shorelines can be visualized in their future states by 2050, 2070, and 2100 year under a scenario of growing global greenhouse gas emissions. These results will be used to help frame new land conservation targeting in Maryland's coastal zone.

Description: Summary
Projected areas that will be drowned within Maryland’s coastal zone under Sea-Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM).
Description
Within the Sea-Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM), it is projected that Maryland’s coastal waters will rise by 1.37 feet by 2050, 2.32 feet by 2070, and 4.03 feet by 2100.
