Global Mean Sea Level Rise Constrained to Less Than 1 Metre by 2100

A review of sea level rise studies has been published in Nature Geoscicence: Identifying the causes of sea-level change Glenn A. Milne, W. Roland Gehrels, Chris W. Hughes & Mark E. Tamisiea Abstract Global mean sea-level change has increased from a few centimetres per century over recent millennia to a few tens of centimetres per [...]

Thames Barrier Design Overestimated Climate Threat

London is less vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by global warming than experts realised, according to a new analysis. Experts at the Environment Agency said the Thames Barrier will protect the city for decades longer than engineers thought, with a six-year study revealing that the barrier’s original designs overestimated the threat from climate change. [...]

More Evidence for a Solar Amplification Mechanism

Nir Shaviv’s latest paper has been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research (Space Physics). It is entitled: ‘Using the oceans as a calorimeter to quantify the solar radiative forcing.’ The Abstract states: Over the 11-year solar cycle, small changes in the total solar irradiance (TSI) give rise to small variations in the global energy [...]

New Paper Urges Caution on Extrapolation of Greenland Glacier Mass Loss

A new paper has been published in Nature Geoscience by Faezeh M. Nick, Andreas Vieli, Ian M. Howat  &  Ian Joughin entitled, ‘Large-scale changes in Greenland outlet glacier dynamics triggered at the terminus.’ The Abstract states: The recent marked retreat, thinning and acceleration of most of Greenland’s outlet glaciers south of 70° N has increased [...]

Short Term Sea Level Rise Slows by 20%

A new paper published in Global and Planetary Change by Cazenave et al entitled, ‘Sea level budget over 2003–2008: A reevaluation from GRACE space gravimetry, satellite altimetry and Argo’ suggests that sea level rise has slowed by 20% for 2003 to 2008, compared to 1993 to 2003 (2.5mm/yr compared to 3.1mm/yr). The Abstract states: From [...]

How High Will Sea Levels Rise in the 21st Century?

As reported by Prometheus, there is a chapter in the latest US Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) report entitled, ‘Rapid Changes in Glaciers and Ice Sheets and their Effects on Sea Level.’ Uncertainty seems to be the key message with regard to the ability to predict sea level rise in the 21st Century (page 92/93): [...]

Short-Term Sea Level Trend Shrinking Since 2005

The above graphic is from the University of Colorado at Boulder sea level change web page. The blue 60 -day smoothing line is the one of interest, showing a fall or levelling out in the rising sea level trend since 2005. The University of Colorado web page states: Since August 1992 the satellite altimeters have been measuring [...]

UK Beach 2 Miles Inland in 43 AD

So much for sea level rise: The ‘lost’ beach where the Romans landed 2,000 years ago to begin their invasion of Britain has been uncovered by archaeologists. The remains of the shingle harbour were buried beneath 6ft of soil nearly two miles inland from the modern Kent coast. It lies close to the remains of [...]
