Using a statistical model calibrated to the relationship between global mean temperature and

And based upon late Quaternary stratigraphic data from peninsular Florida's shelf and coastal zone,
historic wetland accumulation
rates, and residence time of coastal construction projects (i.e. beach «nourishment», dune «restoration»), by mid-century the
rate of predicted
sea level rise will result in erosional shoreface retreat and ultimately overstep of both the natural and built environment.
Projections for global
sea level rise by 2100 range from 8 inches to 6.6 feet above 1992
levels, though the lowest end of this range is a simple extension of
historic sea level rise — and recent data indicate this
rate has nearly doubled in recent years.
