| Abstract |
The present configuration of Maine's coast is attributable to a rise in sea level over the past 10,000 years. Scientists have been able to verify that sea level has continued a gradual rise in all of Maine's major coastal municipalities during at least the last fifty years. Geologists and climate modelers project that this rise will continue, although there is not total agreement on the projected rate of rise. A continuation of the historic rate of sea-level rise of around 2 mm/year (20 cm/100 years) places many shoreline properties in jeopardy from coastal erosion and inundation. However, several consensus reports of the international scientific community over the last decade project an accelerated rate of sea-level rise as a result of global climate change associated with the greenhouse effect. |
