  • Easy to navigate: One can click anywhere on global ocean and get a comprehensive data on the projected sea level rise.
  • Data Integrity: Tool distributes the data in an accessible and user-friendly way while maintaining scientific integrity.
  • Awareness generation: Tool can help to facilitate knowledge sharing, easy access to the state-of-the-art climate science leading to better awareness about the issue.
  • Critical for India: India has 7516 km of coastline and tool can help in increasing the climate resilience of countries with large coastal populations, infrastructure, and economies.
