Книга: John A. Church «Understanding Sea-level Rise and Variability»
|
Серия: "-" Sea-level rise is one of the most obvious manifestations of anthropogenic climate, and it directly threatens coasts as a result of increased erosion, more frequent storm-surge flooding and loss of habitat. However, the wide range of uncertainty in projections of global and regional sea-level rise presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a significant hindrance in agreeing to appropriate mitigation levels and in planning adaptation measures. Understanding Sea-Level Rise and Variability identifies the major impacts of sea-level rise, presents up-to-date assessments of past sea-level change, thoroughly explores all of the factors contributing to sea-level rise, and explores how sea-level extreme events might change. It identifies what is known in each area and what research and observations are required to reduce the uncertainties in our understanding of sea-level rise so that more reliable future projections can be made. A synthesis of findings provides a concise summary of past, present and future sea-level rise and its impacts on society. The book is for everyone interested in sea-level rise and its impacts, including policy makers, research funders, scientists, students, coastal managers and engineers. Издательство: "Wiley" (2010)

Quotes
* "Sea levels are expected to rise as a result of global warming with adverse effects on many people living in coastal areas, although the patterns may not be uniform around the globe."
* "Sea-level rise projections for 2100 are several tens of centimetres above 1990 levels but beyond 2100 sea level will continue to rise for centuries after greenhouse gas concentrations have stabilised."

Sea level rise — is an increase in sea level. Multiple complex factors may influence this change. Sea level has risen about 130 meters (400 ft) since the peak of the last ice age about 18,000 years ago. Most of the rise occurred before 6,000 years ago. From 3,000 … Wikipedia
