Rising sea levels of 1.8 meters in worst-case scenario, researchers calculate

ScienceDaily: The climate is getting warmer, the ice sheets are melting and sea levels are rising -- but how much? The report of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2013 was based on the best available estimates of future sea levels, but the panel was not able to come up with an upper limit for sea level rise within this century. Now researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and their colleagues have calculated the risk for a worst-case scenario. The results indicate that at worst, the...

Climate change: Sea levels steady for 6,000 years before rapid rise in past 150 years, study reveals

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Sea levels remained steady for thousands of years before recent rapid rises, a study led by the Australian National University shows. The study looked at the fluctuation of ocean levels over the past 35,000 years, based on ice volume changes around the world. The researchers have described the study as the most comprehensive paper of its kind looking at the period. ANU's Professor Kurt Lambeck said sea levels were oscillating by no more than 20 centimetres over several millennia. "In...
Sea level rise over past century unmatched in 6,000 years, says study

Guardian: The rise in sea levels seen over the past century is unmatched by any period in the past 6,000 years, according to a lengthy analysis of historical sea level trends. The reconstruction of 35,000 years of sea level fluctuations finds that there is no evidence that levels changed by more than 20cm in a relatively steady period that lasted between 6,000 years ago and about 150 years ago. This makes the past century extremely unusual in the historical record, with about a 20cm rise in global sea...
