Modeling the Hawaiian Shoreline  

Present-day coastal flood risk on the island of Hawaii, with higher risk indicated in dark blue. Sea surface temperature anomaly data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) indicate low temperatures in the east (red) to high in the west (orange). Inland, high-probability locations of wetlands are shown in bright yellow and could aid in climate-adaptation planning.
