New models for projecting rising sea levels

The exact timing and rate at which sea level rises will happen is unknown, making it difficult for coastal regions to act.

But this could soon change, thanks in part to new models developed by the PROTECT project that link rising sea levels with melting polar ice. Using a combination of remote sensing and Earth observation data, the models have expanded the timescale of projections from a couple of decades to the next few centuries. The models can also be used to predict sea level rise at both the global and local scales.
