We need your help to photograph king tides

King Tides this week!



We need your help to photograph extreme high tides on December 23 & 24 (this Friday and Saturday) and January 21 & 22. You can find local King Tide times, learn how to upload your photos, browse previous King Tide photos, and find resources for educators on the California King Tides Project website. 

Your photos will become important data for this community science project. They help us understand what's vulnerable to flooding today, plan for future sea level rise, and get us all talking and thinking about the impacts of the climate crisis and what we can do to make a difference. The California King Tides Project is only successful with your participation. Thank you for your help!

What causes sea level rise, and what do King Tides have to do with it?

Sea level rise is caused by burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide acts like a blanket, trapping in heat that would otherwise escape, raising the global temperature of the land, air, and ocean. Sea levels are rising because land-based glaciers and ice sheets are melting into the ocean, and because water expands in volume when it warms. The amount of sea level rise we ultimately experience depends on how quickly we stop burning fossil fuels. 

King Tides themselves are natural and are not caused by sea level rise, but they allow us to experience a little of what higher sea level will be like. King Tides are the highest tides of the year, about a foot or two higher than average high tides, which is approximately what daily tides will be in the next few decades due to human-caused sea level rise. When you observe the King Tides, picture the water level that high and higher every day. Documenting what King Tides look like today helps us responsibly plan for the sea level rise of the future.
