Source code for creating the Sea Level Impacts Input Dataset by Elevation, Region, and Scenario (SLIIDERS) datasets

This deposit hosts the code and three input datasets used to create the SLIIDERS-ECON and SLIIDERS-SLR datasets. The SLIIDERS datasets contain current and forecasted physical and socioeconomic metrics from 2000-2100 - organized by coastal segment, elevation slice, and scenario - for use as inputs to global coastal climate impacts research.

SLIIDERS-ECON contains socioeconomic variables, varying horizontally and vertically over space. SLIIDERS-SLR contains Monte Carlo projections of Local Sea Level Rise under different emissions and ice sheet dynamics assumptions, based on the outputs of LocalizeSL. Coastal segments in SLIIDERS-ECON can be matched to gridded LSLR projections in SLIIDERS-SLR via the SLR_site key.

All work utilizing this code or the resulting SLIIDERS datasets should cite Depsky, Bolliger et al. 2022 (in prep.). See License for details.

This code is maintained in a Github repository at https://github.com/ClimateImpactLab/sliiders. Please see the Github repository for code updates and further documentation.

Aside from the three manually-generated input files hosted in this repository, almost all inputs needed to generate SLIIDERS are publicly available, and scripts to download these inputs are provided within this source code. The one exception is the CoastalDEM digital elevation map, which may be licensed through Climate Central.
