Sea level rise (SLR) assessments are commonly used to identify the extent that coastal populations are at risk to
flooding. However, the data and assumptions used to develop these assessments contain numerous sources and types
of uncertainty, which limit confidence in the accuracy of modeled results. This study illustrates how the intersection
of uncertainty in digital elevation models (DEMs) and SLR lead to a wide range of modeled outcomes. SLR
assessments are then reviewed to identify the extent that uncertainty is documented in peer-reviewed articles. The
paper concludes by discussing priorities needed to further understand SLR impacts. (PDF contains 4 pages
