SLAMM 1-- 1986-1989 UNEP conference and Armentano
et al.
The Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) was developed with EPA
funding in the mid 1980s (Park et al. 1986)
SLAMM 2 -- 1989-1991 EPA Report to Congress and related papers
SLAMM2 was used to simulate 20% of the coast of the contiguous United States for
the EPA Report to Congress on the potential effects of global climate change
(Park et al. 1989a, Park et al. 1989b, Park 1991, Titus et al. 1991); the
results were quoted by President Clinton ten years later.

SLAMM 4 & 4.1 1998-2006, Mapping Component Added, 30 by 30
meter cells
SLAMM Version 4.1 was
developed in 2005 and based on SLAMM 4.0. SLAMM 4.1 provides additional sea
level rise scenarios based on the latest IPCC findings (IPCC 2001) and
additional data examination tools to ensure that data quality is acceptable.
