Mapping and valuation of ecosystems and economic activities along the coast of Cameroon: implications of future sea level rise. [PDF]
, 2009 The vulnerability of the coastal zone of Cameroon to flooding from sea level rise (SLR) was quantified using Geographic Information System (GIS) flooding analysis.

Global Mean Sea Level Rise Inferred From Ocean Salinity and Temperature Changes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Barystatic sea level rise (SLR) caused by the addition of freshwater to the ocean from melting ice can in principle be recorded by a reduction in seawater salinity, but detection of this signal has been hindered by sparse data coverage and the small ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend

Greenland ice sheet climate disequilibrium and committed sea-level rise
Nature Climate Change, 2022 Ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest sources of contemporary sea-level rise (SLR). While process-based models place timescales on Greenland’s deglaciation, their confidence is obscured by model shortcomings including imprecise ...

The transient sensitivity of sea level rise [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 Recent assessments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) imply that global mean sea level is unlikely to rise more than about 1.1 m within this century but will increase further beyond 2100.
