Climate-change–driven accelerated sea-level rise detected in the altimeter era
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Satellite altimetry has shown that global mean sea level has been rising at a rate of ∼3 ± 0.4 mm/y since 1993. Using the altimeter record coupled with careful consideration of interannual and decadal variability as well as potential ...

Mapping Sea-Level Change in Time, Space, and Probability
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2018 Future sea-level rise generates hazards for coastal populations, economies, infrastructure, and ecosystems around the world. The projection of future sea-level rise relies on an accurate understanding of the mechanisms driving its complex spatio-temporal

Ice-Sheet and Sea-Level Changes [PDF]
Science, 2005 Future sea-level rise is an important issue related to the continuing buildup of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, with the potential to raise sea level ∼70 meters if completely melted, dominate uncertainties in projected sea-level change.

A Roadmap for Policy-Relevant Sea-Level Rise Research in the United Arab Emirates
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a long-term policy horizon, the financial capital, and a vision for a sustainable knowledge-based economy. These characteristics uniquely situate it as a potential leader for sea-level rise research.

A meandering polar jet caused the development of a Saharan cyclone and the transport of dust toward Greenland [PDF]
Advances in Science and Research, 2019 In this study, we identify a new mechanism by which dust aerosols travel over long distances across the eastern side of the North Atlantic Ocean toward the Arctic. The meandering polar jet was at the origin of both dust emission through cyclogenesis over

Coastal Adaptation to Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise
Water, 2021 The Earth’s climate is changing; ice sheets and glaciers are melting and coastal hazards and sea level are rising in response. With a total population of over 300 million people situated on coasts, including 20 of the planet’s 33 megacities (over 10 ...

An Automatic Method for Black Margin Elimination of Sentinel-1A Images over Antarctica
Remote Sensing, 2020 The Sentinel-1A satellite was launched in April 2014 with a primary C-Band terrain observation with progressive scans synthetic aperture radar (TOPSAR) onboard and has collected plenty of high-quality images for global change studies.

Mechanisms driving the asymmetric seasonal cycle of Antarctic Sea Ice in the CESM Large Ensemble
Annals of Glaciology, 2020 The yearly paired process of slow growth and rapid melt of some 15 million square kilometers of Antarctic sea ice takes place with a regular asymmetry; the process has been linked to the relationship of the position of the ice edge with the band of low ...
