Climate change has led to changes in the severity and frequency of extreme weather events, storm surges, and sea level rise, increasing the future extreme water levels (EWL) in many places worldwide. In the scope of The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK) funded project “Vulnerability of Coastal Cultural Heritage Areas to Sea Level Rise and Its Impacts,” a preliminary statistical and spatial analysis has been carried out to investigate the projected EWLs at the coastal cultural heritage sites of Turkiye. The objective of this study is (i) to determine those cultural and natural heritage sites having higher EWLs, (ii) to discuss using rates of change of EWLs as a classification for flooding risks due to EWL, and (iii) to compare different EWL datasets in the literature under various RCP scenarios within the context of vulnerability of the coastal areas with heritage characteristics.
