«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.»

The melting of Greenland contributes to the global sea level, but the loss of mass also means that the ice sheet's own gravitational field weakens and thus does not attract the surrounding sea as strongly.

But the rapid retreat seen in the past 40 years means that in the coming decades, sea - level rise will likely exceed this century's sea - level rise projections of 3 feet (90 centimeters) by 2100, issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said Sridhar Anandakrishnan, a glaciologist at Pennsylvania State University, who was not involved in the study.

For example, if tribes migrate (d) to a certain locale or are forced out of an ideal way of life due to cataclysm etc, (such as leaving fruit bearing tropical climates due to sea level rise in ancient prehistory as seen from underwater megalithic stone temples from around the world) then that does nt mean their way of life currently is the most ideal that the body thrives on, such as «paleo» diet or atkins diet or other FAD BULLSHIT low carb, high fat diets that are EXTREMELY HARMFUL AS CITED CONCLUSIVELY.

The floating blue waves remind you what rising sea levels mean and how our cities around the world will be severely impacted if not destroyed altogether.

Again, I don't disagree, as this would mean ~ 70 cm of sea - level rise, but let's think about what would be required for that to actually happen?

One challenge has been that the state of the hydrological cycle is not as easily summarised by one single index in the same way as the global mean temperature or the global mean sea level height.

Note that this sampling noise in the tide gauge data most likely comes from the water sloshing around in the ocean under the influence of winds etc., which looks like sea - level change if you only have a very limited number of measurement points, although this process can not actually change the true global - mean sea level.

Okay, I obtained Church and White's time series for global mean sea level (GMSL) from 1880 to 2013 (N = 134).

If global warmning means rising sea level I just do not understand why the sea level hasn't changed the last 30 years when I have own my summer house.

SLR study... The study, by US scientists, has calculated the rate of global mean sea level rise is not just going up at a steady rate of 3 mm a year, but has been increasing by an additional 0.08 mm a year, every year since 1993.

These wildfires release soot into the atmosphere, which accelerates the rate of melting of glaciers, snow and ice it lands upon, which can lead to less reflectivity, meaning more of the sun's heat is absorbed, leading to more global warming, which leads to even more wildfires, not to mention greater sea level rise, which is already threatening coastal areas around the world.

One other problem particular to climate research is that meaning only emerges when its tribes collaborate (sea level is not an oceanography question, but a glaciology question, etc.).

That doesn't mean I'm going to buy property only 1 meter above sea level.

Zoom in on the map, and set the SLR in meters, and it grays out anything below sea levels (which of course, does * not * mean underwater).

In this regard, I would observe that at least one important AGW effect, rising sea level, does not depend on a specific regional outcome so much as on global mean T. (At least, I think this is so (because my understanding is that most of the rise comes from lower density of warmer water, not from melting ice sheets — though again, not 100 % sure on this point)-RRB-.

The contribution from glaciers and ice caps (not including Greenland and Antarctica), on the other hand, is computed from a simple empirical formula linking global mean temperature to mass loss (equivalent to a rate of sea level rise), based on observed data from 1963 to 2003.

This does not mean that Greenland will not continue to melt (it will very probably on long term) and sea - level wil not continue to rise (idem).

iheartheidicullen @ 162: Sorry if my tone was intemperate, but really the SH and NH sea ice trends have been analysed at length online by Tamino and others, over the last year or two, with the clear conclusion that the SH anomaly trend is small (the anomaly at the maximum last year was about 1.5 % of the mean annual maximum, if I remember correctly) and not statistically significant (at the 95 % level, I think), whereas the NH trend is large (tens of percent), long - lived, and statistically very significant indeed.

But — just because the data don't follow a parabola, doesn't mean that sea level hasn't accelerated.

Vertical land movements such as resulting from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), tectonics, subsidence and sedimentation influence local sea level measurements but do not alter ocean water volume; nonetheless, they affect global mean sea level through their alteration of the shape and hence the volume of the ocean basins containing the water.

It might be worth emphasising that whether or not there has been an acceleration of sea level rise during recent decades, mean sea level rise as such is a long term fixture which is unstoppable by any human agency and to which adaptation will perforce be necessary.

I am a little puzzled at the trend, but that just means the sea level rise data as commonly presented doesn't paint a complete or accurate picture.

Short period trends of acceleration in mean sea level after 1990 are evident at each site, although these are not abnormal or higher than other short - term rates measured throughout the historical record.»

The findings do not significantly alter short - term sea level rise projections, but they mean that we may need to prepare for larger amounts of long - term sea level rise than previously thought.
