This maps show the estimated change in the frequency of flooding events of a given height between 2010 and 2100 due to projected regional sea relative level rise under the RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Values larger than 1 indicate an increase in flooding frequency.
RCP, representative concentration pathway; RCP2.6: low emissions scenario; RCP8.5: high emissions scenario
