Global mean sea level (GMSL)17,43will have risen by 0.43 m (0.29–0.59 m, likely range; RCP2.6) and 0.84 m (0.61–1.10 m, likely range; RCP8.5) in 2100, relative to 1986–2005. The corresponding end-century rate
Sea level rise threatens coastal zones through a range of hazards and impacts17including enhancement of episodic, temporary marine flooding due to the effect of rising mean sea level and extreme sea levels associated with storm surge and high tides; permanent submergence of land; groundwater inundati...
International Law an Sea Level Rise: the New ILA CommitteeThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has now released its Fifth report.Freestone, David McAdam, JaneMcAdam, JaneIlsa Journal of International Law
Anthropogenic sea-level rise (SLR) is predicted to impact, and, in many cases, displace, a large proportion of the population via inundation and heightened SLR-related hazards. With the global coastal population projected to surpass one billion people th
As is well known, the ILA explored the problem and its committee on sea-level rise proposed in 2018: 'States should accept that, once the baselines and the outer limits of the maritime zones … have been properly determined in accor- dance with the detailed requirements of the [UNCLOS] ...
Using a relatively simple form of ROA on a vulnerable piece of coastal rail infrastructure in the United Kingdom, and two successive UK climate assessments, we estimate the values associated with utilising up-dated information on sea-level rise. The value of learning can be compared to the ...
Sea level rise Sea level acceleration Mean sea level Tide gauge Data archaeology 1. Introduction The observational evidence thus far suggests that UK sea level rise (SLR) was low during the latter third of the 19th Century (Woodworth et al., 1999, Woodworth, 2018), followed by a change in...
Scientists are drilling deep into glaciers and using sophisticated equipment to better understand a critical piece of the climate puzzle.

The land ice contribution to global mean sea level rise has not yet been predicted1 using ice sheet and glacier models for the latest set of socio-economic scenarios, nor using coordinated exploration of uncertainties arising from the various computer models involved. Two recent international projects...
