Download the Humboldt Bay Sea Level Rise Water Level Extract Program

Developed by Jeff Anderson of Northern Hydrology & Engineering and funded by the City's Environmental Services Department, the Humboldt Bay Sea Level Rise Water Level Extract Program is an Excel application that provides the user with the Humboldt Bay water level elevation data developed for the Humboldt Bay: Sea Level Rise, Hydrodynamic Modeling, and Inundation Vulnerability Mapping project (Northern Hydrology & Engineering, 2015). The model was developed and used to predict water levels within the existing shorelines of Humboldt Bay for five sea level rise scenarios.
