Global Mean Sea Level Rise Inferred From Ocean Salinity and Temperature Changes

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...

Timescales for detecting a significant acceleration in sea level rise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There is observational evidence that global sea level is rising and there is concern that the rate of rise will increase, significantly threatening coastal communities.

PHYSICAL IMPACT OF SEA LEVEL RISE TO THE COASTAL ZONE ALONG THE EAST COAST OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA [PDF]

open access: yesMalaysian Journal of Geosciences, 2018
Sea level rise around the world caused by global warming since decade and effects on coastal especially country below mean sea level and country island. The prediction of sea level rise by 2100 is over 3m. Sea level rise increases caused by melting ice

The SAVEMEDCOASTS-2 webGIS: The Online Platform for Relative Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Scenarios up to 2100 for the Mediterranean Coasts

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Here we show the SAVEMEDCOASTS-2 web-based geographic information system (webGIS) that supports land planners and decision makers in considering the ongoing impacts of Relative Sea Level Rise (RSLR) when formulating and prioritizing climate-resilient ...

The transient sensitivity of sea level rise [PDF]

open access: yesOcean 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.

Water-level attenuation in global-scale assessments of exposure to coastal flooding: a sensitivity analysis [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019
This study explores the uncertainty introduced in global assessments of coastal flood exposure and risk when not accounting for water-level attenuation due to land-surface characteristics.

Non-linear interaction modulates global extreme sea levels, coastal flood exposure, and impacts

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The non-linear interaction between tide and non-tidal residual impacts current and future extreme water levels. Here, based on 620 gauge records, the authors find a large non-linear interaction in the US East Coast, North Sea and parts of southern Japan,

Long-Term Trends and Variability of Water Levels and Tides in Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, Argentina

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
We present an analysis of the long-term trends and variability of extreme water and tidal levels and the main tidal constituents using long-term records from two tide gauges in the wider region of the Rio de la Plata estuary: Buenos Aires (1905–2013) and

Complementing thermosteric sea level rise estimates [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2015
Thermal expansion of seawater has been one of the most important contributors to global sea level rise (SLR) over the past 100 years. Yet, observational estimates of this volumetric response of the world's oceans to temperature changes are sparse and ...

Altimeter accuracy requirements for detecting changes in sea level rise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
All nations with a maritime border are concerned about changes in sea level, with an increase in sea level leading to flooding of coastal areas, damage to property, salinification of fresh water aquifers and destruction of valuable agricultural land ...
