«As an archaeologist who studies Arctic and Subarctic coastal peoples, erosion associated with intense storm activity, loss of permafrost, rising sea levels, and increasing human activity is devastating to comprehend; however, this study not only documents those processes, but provides a means to examine their highly variable impacts that, hopefully, can lead to constructive ways to prioritize research and mitigate destructive processes in this extremely important region.»

These areas provide the world with an «experiment» in sea level rise and what it means in terms of real world impacts.

The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) has analyzed the effect of a 10 - meter rise in sea level, providing a sense of what the melting of the world's largest ice sheets could mean.

On the global mean sea level rise during the last interglacial period (129,000 to 116,000 years ago), the UK, Austria, US, Germany and others supported providing a policy relevant context and linking paleoclimatic observations on sea level rise to temperature.

Projections of mean global sea - level (GSL) rise provide insufficient information to plan adaptive responses; local decisions require local projections that accommodate different risk tolerances and time frames and that can be linked to storm surge projections.

J. T. Fasullo, R. S. Nerem & B. Hamlington Scientific Reports 6, Article number: 31245 (2016) doi: 10.1038 / srep31245 Download Citation Climate and Earth system modellingProjection and prediction Received: 13 April 2016 Accepted: 15 July 2016 Published online: 10 August 2016 Erratum: 10 November 2016 Updated online 10 November 2016 Abstract Global mean sea level rise estimated from satellite altimetry provides a strong constraint on climate variability and change and is expected to accelerate as the rates of both ocean warming and cryospheric mass loss increase over time.

Kjær, Kjeldsen and Korsgaard's team shows that the ice sheet «contributed substantially to sea level rise throughout the 20th century, providing at least 25 ± 9.4 millimeters of the total global mean rise,» writes Csatho, an associate professor of geology in UB's College of Arts and Sciences, in her News and Views analysis.

Abstract: «Global mean sea level rise estimated from satellite altimetry provides a strong constraint on climate variability and change and is expected to accelerate as the rates of both ocean warming and cryospheric mass loss increase over time.

An evaluation of the status of late Holocene sea level rise constructions is provided in a recent proposal by an international group of sea level experts (including Kopp), entitled: Towards a unified sea level record: assessing the performance of global mean sea level reconstructions from satellite altimetry, tide gauges, paleo ‐ proxies and geophysical models.

The measurement of long - term changes in global mean sea level can provide an important corroboration of predictions by climate models of global warming.

The map of regional mean sea level trends provides an overview of variations in the rates of relative local mean sea level observed at long - term tide stations (based on a minimum of 30 years of data in order to account for long - term sea level variations and reduce errors in computing sea level trends based on monthly mean sea level).

This sentence is on page 8: Gregory et al. (2013) provides graphically a time series of global mean sea level (GMSL) rise due to thermal expansion from 1860 based on a simulation by the CCSM4 AOGCM, with volcanic forcing included, starting in 850.

The authors observe that wide variations in rates of tectonic uplift and subsidence in different locations around the world at particular times mean no effective coastal management plan can rest upon speculative computer projections regarding an idealised future global sea level, such as those provided by the United Nations» Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Accounting for the TOPEX - A instrumental correction for the first 6 years of the altimetry data set, these studies provided a revised global mean sea level time series that slightly reduces the average GMSL rise over the altimetry era (from 3.3 mm / yr to 3.0 mm / yr) but shows clear acceleration over 1993 - present.

Geological evidence, mainly coral reefs on tectonically stable coasts, was described in the review of Overpeck et al. [51] as favouring an Eemian maximum of +4 to more than 6 m. Rohling et al. [52] cite many studies concluding that the mean sea level was 4 — 6 m above the current sea level during the warmest portion of the Eemian, 123 — 119 kyr BP; note that several of these studies suggest Eemian sea - level fluctuations up to +10 m, and provide the first continuous sea - level data supporting rapid Eemian sea - level fluctuations.

This task involved extensive time series analysis that identified Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) as an optimal analytic for resolving estimates of mean sea level from long tide gauge records with improved accuracy and temporal resolution, since it provides a superior capability to separate key time varying harmonic components of the time series.
