Coasts Should Plan for 6.5 Feet Sea Level Rise by 2100 as Precaution, Experts Say
If planners are working with a mid-range projection of sea level rise, their efforts might protect coastal regions from the most likely scenarios depicted in climate models, but that still leaves a lot of risk, say the authors of the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Ice sheet contributions to future sea-level rise from structured expert judgment
The 95th percentile ice sheet contribution by 2200, for the +5 °C scenario, is 7.5 m (about 23 ft) as a result of instabilities coming into play in both West and East Antarctica. Introducing process correlations and tail dependences increases estimates by roughly 15%.
Biorock® is a patented method based on Mineral Accretion Technology invented by Professor Wolf Hilbertz and Dr Tom Goreau.
The Biorock® method is a revolutionary solution applicable to an increasing range of problematic environmental conditions coastal nations are presently facing on a global scale. Compared to traditional alternatives the Biorock method is the most cost-effective and environmentally beneficial solution available for protecting coastal resources from the effects of global warming and global sea level rise.
