For the study «Doubling of coastal erosion under rising sea level by mid-century in Hawaiʻi,» published this week in Natural Hazards, the research team developed a simple model to assess future erosion hazards under higher sea levels — taking into account historical changes of Hawaiʻi shorelines and the projected acceleration of sea level rise reported from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Co-author Professor Eelco Rohling, from the Australian National University and formerly of the University of Southampton, adds: «By developing a novel method that realistically approximates future sea level rise, we have been able to add new insight to the debate and show that there is substantial evidence for a significant recent acceleration in the sea level rise on a global and regional level.

After over a year of sideways and downward movement from late 2015 through early 2017, the most recent NASA report shows that over the past year an acceleration in sea level rise has become visible on the NASA graph, even with just a quick glance (then again, while the long term trend is consistently upward, the annual trend is so variable, that it's likely foolish on my part to suggest a change in trend based on the most recent periods of increase which have only been occurring for less than 12 months).

From the comments section of the paper he highlighted: «Firstly, it continues to indicate that in New Zealand, at least, there has been neither a significant change in the rate of sea level rise nor any detectable acceleration.»

Here's a quote from the conclusion: «Firstly, it continues to indicate that in New Zealand, at least, there has been neither a significant change in the rate of sea level rise nor any detectable acceleration.»

I presume you are referring to Figure 1; but there is a clear «cupping» of the curve from 1800 to 2000 — ie., it bends upwards, meaning an acceleration of sea level rise.

An obvious question is how this acceleration can be possible in light of the satellite data showing sea level falling over the last 2 years.

Sea - Level Acceleration Based on U.S. Tide Gauges and Extensions of Previous Global - Gauge Analyses., J. Coast.

What this tells us is that «climate - change — driven acceleration» has been assumed ahead of time, and since the raw data failed to confirm the existence of such an acceleration («In stark contrast to this expectation however, current altimeter products show the rate of sea level rise to have decreased from the first to second decades of the altimeter era.»

Gehrels, W. R., B. W. Hayward, R. M. Newnham, and K. E. Southall (2008), A 20th century acceleration of sea - level rise in New Zealand, Geophys.

The differences between the quadratic acceleration numbers come from differences in the decadal to multidecadal variability in the curves which I don't consider very robust (we have shown in Rahmstorf et al. 2012 how strongly these can be affected by a small amount of «noise» in the sea - level data).

The IPCC most - likely future projected moderate acceleration of sea - level rise in a warming world, but still a slow rate of change compared to the fastest rates we can envision.

Hay et al. find that the acceleration of sea - level rise since 1900 AD is larger than in previous reconstructions, but it has been generally questioned whether the quadratic acceleration (derived from a parabolic fit) is a useful number in cases where a parabola doesn't fit the data well (Rahmstorf and Vermeer 2011, Foster and Brown 2014).

I just ask why we don't see a perceptible acceleration of sea level increasing (you answer on this point) and, for CO2, why we don't see a greater slope on CO2 concentration curve.

This acceleration in sea level rise is consistent with a doubling in contribution from melting of glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and West - Antarctic ice sheets.

At this acceleration rate the sea level will peak in 2025 at an average level of 40 mm higher than it was in 2000.

It is possible, therefore, that the effects of recent accelerations in climate change have not yet started to have a significant contribution to or impact on current sea levels; but based on international scientific opinion, it is more a case of when, rather than if.

The end effect of negative acceleration is the sea levels will spend more time dropping after 2025 than they spend increasing.

To do that I plotted the instantaneous rate of rise over the period of time and then determined the acceleration (mm / yr2) of the sea level change.

I haven't looked at the research paper in detail, but the general slowing of sea level rise after 2004 - 2005 fits in with the sharp acceleration of heat uptake into the ocean during 2000 - 2005, and a slower rate of heat uptake thereafter.

A similar pattern seems to have occurred during the 20th century too - short - term accelerations and decelerations against a background of long - term acceleration in sea level rise.

If one thinks of the the change in sea level as a «speed» then the acceleration would be the rate at which the velocity is changing.

It occurred to me that perhaps the best way to do so was to determine the «acceleration» of the sea level rise.

Scientific studies have established an acceleration in sea - level rise because of a warming atmosphere.

«The global mean sea level for the period January 1900 to December 2006 is estimated to rise at a rate of 1.56 ± 0.25 mm / yr which is reasonably consistent with earlier estimates, but we do not find significant acceleration»

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.
