Rising sea levels as a major impact of climate change pose a risk for coastal regions — the mean regional sea level rise takes effect by more frequent and more intense coastal flood events. (sciencedaily.com)
But at the local level, it's been harder to estimate specific regional sea level changes 10 or 20 years away - the critical timeframe for regional planners and decision makers. (jpl.nasa.gov)
In addition we work on regional sea level projections which take into account regional differences in sea level rise, caused e.g. by the gravity effect of shrinking ice sheets. (pik-potsdam.de)
