A new approach to assessing future sea level rise from ice sheets
2013-01-06 11:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Contact: Hannah Johnson hannah.johnson@bristol.ac.uk 44-117-928-8896 University of Bristol The study, published today in Nature Climate Change, is the first of its kind on ice sheet melting to use structured expert elicitation (EE) together with an approach which mathematically pools experts' opinions. EE is already us…

Greenhouse Gas Associated With High Sea Levels Over Past 40 Million Years
2013-01-03 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Researchers based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, have found that greenhouse gas concentrations similar to the present almost 400 parts per million -- were systematically associated with sea levels at least 30 feet above current levels by comparing reconstructions of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and sea level over the past 40 million years. The study, published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), determined that the "natural equilibrium"...
At current CO2 concentrations, sea level set to rise about 30 feet during the next few centuries

Summit Voice: Even if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations were to be stabilzed at today`s levels of about 400 parts per million, sea levels would gradually increase by about 30 during the next few centuries, according to researchers who calibrated CO2 levels against sea level for the past 40 million years. The study sought to pinpoint the 'natural equilibrium` sea level for CO2 concentrations ranging between ice-age values of 180 parts per million and ice-free values of more than 1,000 parts per million....
