SeaLevels vs Sea Level Rise AR Visualizer

The Sea Levels Project was born out of a love for the environment, a concern over inaction, and a lack of simple to use educational tools. Almost all scientists agree that the global climate is changing, and that sea levels are rising, with an increase in the rate of rise very likely to be caused by humans. When it comes to action it is of no consequence whether the cause of climate change is man-made or natural - it still poses an increasing threat to humanity.  We believe that education is an essential step for us as a species to find a solution. Whilst no mobile application could ever hope provide an answer we can help by providing an informational tool.

Sea Level Rise AR Visualizer uses augmented reality (AR) technology to create a virtual model of Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park and allows you to explore how sea level rise will affect this important site in Hawaiian culture and history.  This app was created by scientists at the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) and funded by the USGS-DOI Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center (PI-CASC). The app is based on digital elevations and imagery produce by scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) and sea level rise projections published by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
