Humboldt Bay Lost from Sea-level Rise (1-10 meters)

Humboldt Bay Lost from Sea-level Rise (1-10 meters)
Sea level inundations (meters) in Humboldt County and the affected land uses (hectares)
Methodology
     With the DEM data in ArcMaps, I used Raster Calculator to find area’s sea level. Then, the area below one meter, which I subtracted from the sea level raster to find area that would flood if sea levels rose 1, 2, 5, and 10 meters. With a Parcels layer, I reduced the amount of land use attributes by editing within a summary table which I joined to the original Parcel Attribute Table. I converted this layer to raster. Then multiplied the Land Use Raster to each sea level inundation. I created attribute field Areas for each inundation, and multiplied the specific land uses’ Count by 0.008035 to convert the number of pixels to hectares. Then, I reclassified the pixel values.
