Prediction sea level rise [SLR] rate and its' impact on coastal region of Perlis / Siti Nurnatasya Saidin

The increment of sea level is increasing from time to time as can be proved by many
studies from both local and global studies. This may be caused that the sea level rise
will bring a huge impact on the land. For example, low-lying areas could have the
potential to sink completely i f the sea level rise continues. This statement can be proved
through many previous studies done. Therefore, the prediction o f rising sea level needs
to be done accurately. This is important as a benchmark on possible dangers. The
application of many geospatial technique in sea level rise rate and prediction enhance
the ability o f survey field. In this study, altimeter data used to carry out the prediction
of sea level rise. The usage o f altimeter data quite unfamiliar in our country although so
many application can be done using it. With the prediction o f sea level rise, the
authorities can plan efforts that can be taken to overcome the possible dangers. Using
the map, areas exposed to the risk o f sea level rise can be further illustrated.
