Process-resolving4and semi-empirical9,10assessments of sea-level rise under climate change predominantly utilize the RCP scenarios11and are often limited to the 21st century. Probabilistic estimates have been published for the 22nd century12and the importance of climate policy was highlighted for sea-...
Sea level rise refers to the increase in average sea level over time, primarily caused by the expansion of ocean waters due to the warming of the Earth's atmosphere and the melting of land-based ice. From: Climate Change (Third Edition), 2021 ...
Braithwaite (2005), The potential for sea level rise: New estimates from glacier and ice cap area and volume distribu- tion, Geophys. Res. Lett., 32, L05502, doi:10.1029/2004GL021981.Raper, S.C.B. and Braithwaite, R.J. (2005). The potential for sea level rise: New estimates ...
These estimates are very close to the global mean sea level projections from SROCC33. Our high-end scenario35 (see also “Methods”) further suggests that a RSL rise exceeding 2 m by 2100 cannot be discarded in the event of unlikely but possible ice-sheets collapse36. Analysis of historical...
Seas are predicted to rise a foot by 2050, regardless of how much global carbon emissions can be reduced. Why is this happening, and what can we do to adapt?
“It takes a village to make climate predictions. When you combine NASA’s scenarios of global sea level rise with NOAA’s estimates of extreme water levels and the U.S. Geological Survey’s impact studies, you get a robust national estimate of the projected future that awaits American coasta...
The economy-wide implications of sea level rise in 2050 are estimated using a static computable general equilibrium model. This allows for a better estimate of the welfare effects of sea level rise than the common direct cost estimates; and for an estimate of the impact of sea level rise on...
9.2 Physical Factors Contributing to Sea-Level Rise Sea level is measured either with respect to the surface of the solid Earth, known as relative sea level (RSL) or a geo- centric reference such as the reference ellipsoid, known as the geocentric sea level. RSL estimates have been obtained...
Coastal response to anthropogenic climate change is of central importance to the infrastructure and inhabitants in these areas. Despite being globally ubiquitous, the stability of rock coasts has been largely neglected, and the expected acceleration of cliff erosion following sea-level rise has not been...
A 500-year model of Antarctica's contribution to future sea-level rise Robert DeConto and David Pollard use a newly improved numerical ice-sheet model calibrated to Pliocene and Last Interglacial sea-level estimates to develop projections of Antarctica's evolution over the next five centuries, driv...
