Each chapter is followed by end notes that provide references 

 and explanations of the text. It should be noted that the 

 estimates of sea level rise presented in this report differ 

 from those of the peer review and first edition (July, 1983) 

 because of improvements made in the treatment of trace gases. 



END NOTES TO CHAPTER 1 



1. Charney, Jules, et al., 1979. Carbon Dioxide and Climate: 

 A Scientific Assessment . Washington, D.C.: National 

 Academy of Sciences Press. The warming predicted 



in this report is 1.5°C to 4.5°C for a doubling of 

 C0 2 . 



2. For an overview of the impacts of sea level rise and 

 decisions that may be influenced, see: 



Titus, James G. , et al., 1983. Sea Level Rise Conference 

 Document (draft). Washington, D.C.: EPA., or 

 Barth, Michael C. and James G. Titus, (eds). Sea Level 

 Rise to the Year 2100 . Stroudsburg, PA: Hutchinson Ross 

 ( in press ) . 



3. For example, the 100-year floodplain defined in Federal 

 Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps is being used at 

 EPA in making many decisions for coastal areas. The maps 

 have not, however, included any sea level rise in setting 

 the flood boundaries. Consequently, facilities may face 

 greater hazards or have shorter useful lives than planned 

 for.
