A previously developed RSL history for the northern Strait of Georgia (James et al., 2005) provided the general features of postglacial sea-level change. It featured a rapid sea-level fall from a high-stand, but was not well constrained during the early Holocene. Under the auspices of the ...
Drivers of dynamic sea level change Models tend to disagree most where regional SLR is greatest29, and we find similar effects here. There is large inter-model disagreement for SLR over the Arctic Ocean, and for the overturning regions in the North Atlantic (Supplementary Fig. 7), likely due...
Satellite altimetry over the oceans shows that the rate of sea-level rise is far from uniform, with reported regional rates up to two to three times the global mean rate of rise of ~3.3 mm/year during the altimeter era. The mechanisms causing the regiona
Of the many threats fromclimate change, sea-level rise will most certainly be among the most impactful, making hundreds of thousands of square miles of coastline uninhabitable and potentially displacing over 100 million people worldwide by the end of the century. This threat is atop concern for ...
A summary of the vulnerability assessment is included below followed by an interactive map series that focuses in on specific planning horizons (2040, 2070, and 2100).Potential Vulnerable Infrastructure by2040 (16" of sea level rise) The locations in the dark blue are areas that will be conside...
"While [sea level rise] was thought as a slow and gradual process, our results show that ocean dynamics can change regional sea level rapidly," lead researcher Jianjun Yinsaid, "leaving less time for the coastal communities tomitigate and adapt." ...
Climate-forced, offline ice-sheet model simulations have been used extensively in assessing how much ice-sheets can contribute to future global sea-level rise. Typically, these model projections do not account for the two-way interactions between ice-she
Good luck finding Tuvalu on a map. The Pacific paradise, located between Australia and Hawaii, is one of the smallest countries in the world. Its nine tiny islands combine for just 10 square miles. It’s incredibly picturesque. But because of climate change, it’s also incredibly fragile. ...
Over the last few decades, thousands of sinkholes have developed at an increasing pace, with the majority along the western and eastern shores of the Dead
Climate change-induced sea-level rise will lead to an increase in internal migration, whose intensity and spatial patterns will depend on the amount of sea-level rise; future socioeconomic development; and adaptation strategies pursued to reduce exposure and vulnerability to sea-level rise. To explo...
