Regional Sea Level Rise Along the United States Coasts
… studies focused on reconstructing global mean sea level (GMSL) for the 20th century, along with projecting rates out into the future. Of greater importance for mitigation and adaptation plans, however, is the rate of local or regional sea level (RSL) rise. Ocean dynamics along with changes in …

The role of sediment supply and sea-level changes on a submerging coast, past changes and future management implications
… have been employed to establish the variation of sea level change, sediment supply and geological control from the Late-Holocene, through the Historical period to the Present day, in Sanday. Techniques such as Ground-Penetrating Radar and geomorphological Radar and geomorphological surveying have …

Governing coastal risk: the case of Langebaan's disappearing shoreline
… zone is the dynamic interface between land and sea and is under immense threat from increasing coastal population and development trends as well as global climate change. Given global and regional sea level rise projections, coastal African countries including South African are highly exposed to …

Persistence of Depositional Features in a Strongly Seasonal, Tide-Dominated Delta
… the SNF platform elevation to keep pace with regional sea level rise, but India’s National River Linking Project (NRLP) could decrease the suspended sediment loads of Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers by 39-75% and 9-25% respectively, and thus may change future sedimentation. In this study, we …

The impact of future sea-level rise on the London-Penzance railway line
… line (Dawlish-Teignmouth) lies very close to sea level and has been susceptible to frequent closure during high seas and storm events. As the main railway connection for the southwest of England to the rest of Great Britain, it is a vital transport link for the Devon and Cornwall economy. …

The late holocene evolution of coastal wetlands in Argyll, Western Scotland
… differential crustal uplift and relative sea-level changes throughout the Holocene in response to glacio-isostatic adjustment. The complex interplay between land movements and relative sea-level continues to influence the morphological development of the Scottish coast. The study of …

Application of the hector-brick reduced complexity earth system model for probabilistic climate projection
… constraint also affects the upper tails of sea level projections. While other studies have explored the complementary nature of temperature and thermal expansion information to understand the climate system, none have simultaneously accounted for centennial scale down to decadal scale …

The importance of ocean internal variability for coupled climate modeling in the community earth system model
… in depth-integrated, drift-removed global steric sea-level rise are evaluated. Results show that the effects of both internal variability and structural model differences contribute substantially to uncertainties in modeled steric sea-level trends for recent decades and the magnitude of these …

Sea level variability in the Tropical Atlantic since 1993 and projections to 2100
Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) is a critical climate metric that captures the cumulative effects of thermal expansion, changes in ocean mass and ice melt. Understanding GMSL is essential for coastal adaptation strategies, but regional variations can differ significantly from the global average, …
