Area inundated with 2m sea level rise, Jan. 2020

This metadata refers to a dataset that shows the percentage of cities' administrative area (core city based on the Urban Morphological Zones dataset) inundated by the sea level rise of 2 metres, without any coastal flooding defences present for a series of individual coastal European cities (included in Urban Audit).

The dataset has been computed using the CReSIS (Centre for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets) dataset for 2018.

Statement

Data on sea level rise was obtained from CReSIS (Centre for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets) 2018, Lawrence, Kansas, USA. Digital Media. http://data.cresis.ku.edu/.

Coastal city centroids was obtained from Eurostat Urban Audit 2018 spatial units: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units

Urban Morphological Zone (UMZ) from Urban Atlas 2012. UMZ is the reference unit for the city morphology. They are regarded as the best approximation of the “real” city form and defined as a set of urban areas laying less than 200 m apart, within the core city administrative boundaries.
