Projected sea-level rise flooding inundation extents for 0.00, +0.25, +0.50, +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, and +3.00 meter sea-level rise scenarios in American Samoa (ver. 1.1, February 2025)

Description This data release provides flooding extent polygons based on sea-level rise (SLR) water levels for the coast of American Samoa's most populated islands of Tutuila, Ofu-Olosega, and Ta'u. Digital elevation models were used to predict SLR flooding extents for 0.00 m, +0.25 m, +0.50 m, +1.00 m, +1.50 m, +2.00 m, and +3.00 m SLR scenarios.
