Floodplain maps and bar graphs depicting the expansion of floodplain after earthquake driven subsidence

Detailed Description

Floodplain maps and bar graphs depicting the expansion of the 1% floodplain after earthquake-driven subsidence today (2023) and in 2100 when the earthquake-driven subsidence is amplified by climate-driven sea-level rise for the (A) Necanicum River, OR; (B) Yaquina Bay, OR; (C) Alsea Bay, OR; and (D) Humboldt Bay, CA. Bar graphs to the Right of each map set show the amount of land area, number of residents, structures, roads, and different land-use types in the 1% floodplain following earthquake-driven subsidence today (2023) and in 2100, when the effects of earthquake-driven subsidence are amplified by climate-driven sea-level rise. From the study Increased flood exposure in the Pacific Northwest following earthquake-driven subsidence and sea-level rise.
