Preparing a talk + I'm struck again by this adaptation strategies by Voelz et al., 2024.

I think as ice sheet scientists we are sometimes too caught up in processes. Smart engineers + social scientists FTW - they have developed the kind of adaptation frameworks that can be used to modulate the effects of sea level rise on communities - Would still be cheaper and easier to reduce fossil fuel emissions though...

Another #Coachella Valley map from the Retrofuture series…
The town of Coachella is to the northwest, this is the 1:250000 USGS quad of the Salton Sea, 1950, with 66m sea level rise. Also, check out Joshua Tree National Monument in the upper left.

FEMA quietly removes access to New England coastal erosion hazard tool

Planners and resilience experts say long-term erosion maps had been critical

commonwealthbeacon.org/environ

The Coastal Erosion Hazard viewer on the Federal Emergency Management Agency website "predicted erosion risk across the coast for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, and until recently was publicly accessible."

Melting #glaciers caused almost 2cm of #sealevelrise this century, study reveals
Decades-long research shows world’s glaciers collectively lost 6.542tn tonnes of #ice between 2000 and 2023, causing an 18mm (0.7in) rise in global #sealevel.
Regional losses were highly variable; the Antarctic and subantarctic islands lost 2% of their volume but central Europe’s glaciers lost 39%.
36% more ice having melted between 2012 and 2023 compared with the previous decade.

#Scientists discover hidden 'plumbing' that's driving #Antarctic #icesheet into the #ocean
Maps created by combining different models of #glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath #Antarctica's ice. Understanding how these vary is important for accurately predicting how much ice will flow into the ocean, and how quickly it will move. Current models predict that ice melt from Antarctica could result in #sealevelrise up to 12in (30cm) by 2100.

Sea-level rise: a new method to estimate the probability of different outcomes – including a worst case

(A slightly technical but clear update for non-scientists on predictions for sea-level rise)

theconversation.com/sea-level-

"No matter how quickly we reduce our carbon emissions, our past emissions commit us to ongoing sea-level rise... Decision-makers face a major obstacle: the specific rate and magnitude of future sea-level rise is deeply uncertain."

Skeptical Science

We continue our collaboration with #Gigafact, another non-profit with a specialized mission: provide impoverished newsrooms with brief, plain language #ClimateMythDebunkings ready to drop into news coverage.

Here's the latest output, covering #SeaLevelRise.

Sea level is fairly easy fodder for creating confusion; the behavior of sea level varies broadly depending on where on our #geoid one measures. A noisy signal but with a clear broad trend.

Skeptical Science and Gigfact collaborative explanation of sea level rise and how it is not exaggerated, contrary to claims of people purporting to be climate skeptics. Text: Is sea level rise exaggerated? No. Sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, not stagnating or decreasing. Warming global temperatures cause land ice to melt and oceans to thermally expand, elevating sea levels. Since 1880, they’ve risen an estimated 8-9 inches (over 20 cm) based on historical data from coastal tide gauge stations. In the 1990s, scientists began using satellites to measure sea levels. Since 1993, the global average sea level has risen 4 inches (10 cm). These satellites send pulses to the ocean and measure the time it takes for the signal to return. Researchers account for factors like land height, resulting in highly accurate measurements with error margins of 1 millimeter. Short-term dips don’t contradict the overall rise, which is exceeding prior predictions. Sea level rise has already submerged islands and atolls in places like The Solomon Islands and The Marshall Islands, while coasts worldwide have experienced flooding, infrastructure damage, and land loss.

Sciences, Flute 🌍 :verified:

If all of Antartica's ice sheet melted, the isostatic rebound of the continent (since the ice sheet does/did make a pressure on it) could sink the other continents by more that 11 meters. In addition to the sea level rise.
