| Summary: | Increasing the temperature of the earth is the cause of global warming can lead to polar ice melting faster. This can lead to rising sea levels. Sea level rise can pose a threat, especially for residential areas is located on the beach. This study aims to calculate the area of West Java are likely to be exposed to the impact of sea level rise. <br />

The data used is the SRTM DEM map, then simulation and calculation of the area being inundated with Global Mapper v15.0 software. This study used three scenarios: scenario A (RCP8.5) with sea level rise is 0.74 m, scenario B (RCP2.6) with sea level rise 0.44 m, and scenario C (the entire Greenland ice melt) with the increase 7 m sea level. This scenario is based on a global sea level rise predictions issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. Established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988. The IPCC was under UN auspices.From the simulation process known map of the area affected by sea level rise in the region of West Java and breadth is 892.747 km2 (scenario A), 446.189 km2 (scenario B), and 4706.736 km2 (scenario C). This information should be considered in disaster mitigation planning. |
