America's Climate Choices: Panel on Advancing the Science of Climate Change's scientific contributions

Publication (1)

Book
Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for--and in many cases is already affecting--a broad range of human and natural systems. The compelling case for these conclusions is provided in Advancing the Science of Climate Change, part of a congressionally requested suite of studies known as Ameri...

... The rising of sea levels is probably one of the best measured indications of the impact of climate change. Sea level has been systematically assessed by tide gauges for more than 100 years and it has risen more than 120 m since the Ice Age (26,000 years ago), with a relatively steady rise over the past 6,000 years [21,22]. The average rate of sea level rise was 1.3 mm/y between 1901 and 1971, then it increased to 1.9 mm/y between 1971 and 2006, with a further increase of 3.7 mm/y between 2006 and 2018 [23]. ...
