My top 3 impressions up-front: The sea level projections for the year 2100 have been adjusted upwards again. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100. And here is the key sea-level graphic from the Summary for Policy Makers: Source: IPCC AR6, Figure SPM.8.

Here we start by taking the Greenland mass loss rate into the ocean, times the temperature difference between the meltwater and the water it replaces. For the part entering the ocean as ice, we must also consider that to melt ice requires energy. Greenland ice melt. or other estimates). References. Trenberth, K. & Fasullo, J.

Despite promising adaptation strategies, sea level rise is projected to drown tens of thousands of acres of farmland within the century.

The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other. While temperatures provide a measure of the Earth’s climate, it is even better to use the global sea level , which provides a far more reliable measure.

In addition, it stores vast quantities of freshwater that if released to the ocean would rise sea level by tens of meters and interfere with saline-driven ocean currents that transfer heat around the planet. In the ocean, 19 marine heatwaves have been recorded between 2002 and 2018.

Sea level rise is also important in the region, causing saltwater intrusion and salinization. from Chapter 21 of NCA5 Changes like sea level rise are resulting in the loss of culturally significant locations for subsistence harvesting. Other risks include increasing tropical cyclones and sea level rise.

My family and I think octopuses are the most marvelous animals in the ocean. Glass Octopus Glass octopuses ( Vitreledonella richardi ) are very rarely seen, not only because they live around 3,000 feet below sea level, but also because they are translucent (hence the name!) Dive deeper with dumbo octopuses.
