The rate of global sea level rise doubled during the past three decades

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
The rise in globally averaged sea level—or global mean sea level—is one of the most unambiguous indicators of climate change. Over the past three decades, satellites have provided continuous, accurate measurements of sea level on near-global scales. Here,

Simulated global-mean sea level changes over the last half-millennium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Simulations of the last 500 yr carried out using the Third Hadley Centre Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere GCM (HadCM3) with anthropogenic and natural (solar and volcanic) forcings have been analyzed.

SeaCities: Urban Tactics for Sea-level Rise

open access: yes, 2021
This book presents and discusses a strategy which includes four approaches to dealing with the risk of sea-level rise and other water hazards. It also offers opportunities for cities to explore urban extensions such as marine estates, aquatic food ...

Doubling of coastal flooding frequency within decades due to sea-level rise

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Global climate change drives sea-level rise, increasing the frequency of coastal flooding. In most coastal regions, the amount of sea-level rise occurring over years to decades is significantly smaller than normal ocean-level fluctuations caused by tides,

Exploring high-end scenarios for local sea level rise to develop flood protection strategies for a low-lying delta-the Netherlands as an example [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sea level rise, especially combined with possible changes in storm surges and increased river discharge resulting from climate change, poses a major threat in low-lying river deltas.

From flood forecasts to rapid assessments of risk and impacts: Establishing operational modelling frameworks for coastal flood management at the German Baltic Sea coast

open access: yesCambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures
The record storm surge of October 2023, which hit the southwestern German Baltic Sea, not only resulted in significant damages to coastal communities and infrastructure but also demonstrated that the region was prepared and able to avoid loss of lives ...

Geometrical Analysis of the Inland Topography to Assess the Likely Response of Wave-Dominated Coastline to Sea Level: Application to Great Britain

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The need for quantitative assessments at a large spatial scale (103 km) and over time horizons of the order 101 to 102 years have been reinforced by the 2019 Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, which concluded that ...

Synthesizing long-term sea level rise projections – the MAGICC sea level model v2.0 [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2017
Sea level rise (SLR) is one of the major impacts of global warming; it will threaten coastal populations, infrastructure, and ecosystems around the globe in coming centuries.

Sea-level rise in Venice: historic and future trends (review article)

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021
. The city of Venice and the surrounding lagoonal ecosystem are highly vulnerable to variations in relative sea level. In the past ∼150 years, this was characterized by an average rate of relative sea-level rise of about 2.5 mm/year resulting from the ...

STUDY OF SEA LEVEL RISE USING SATELLITE ALTIMETRY DATA IN THE SEA OF DUMAI, RIAU, INDONESIA

open access: yesGeoplanning: Journal of Geomatics and Planning, 2017
Climate change and global warming has impacted the entire world. It has caused ice melting at the poles, climate extreme event, land subsidence which further affected sea level to rise, such as particularly, in Dumai coastal areas.
