Impacts of global climate change on the floras of oceanic islands – Projections, implications and current knowledge (2015, background): “Other estimates indicate sea level rises between 0.7–1.2 m (Horton et al., 2014) and 0.75–1.9 m (Vermeer and Rahmstorf, 2009; Jevrejeva et al., 2014) in high warming scenarios.”
Managing for change: wetland transitions under sea‐level rise and outcomes for threatened species (2011, methodology): “Scenarios represented are (A) upper estimates of SLR (0.64 m) for the IPCC SRE scenario A1FI (IPCC 2007) and (B) the upper estimate of 1.8 m (above 1990 levels, after Vermeer & Rahmstorf, 2009).”
Upper limit for sea level projections by 2100 (2014, background): “Projections by SEMs are based on the assumption that sea level in the next 100 years will respond as it has in the past 100–300 years (Vermeer and Rahmstorf 2009, Grinsted et al 2010, Jevrejeva et al 2010) or even 1000 years (Rahmstorf et al 2012), to imposed climate forcing.”
How will sea level respond to changes in natural and anthropogenic forcings by 2100? (2010, methodology): “Lately these IPCC numbers have beenchallengedwithnewestimatesof0.5–1.4m[Rahmstorf, 2007], 0.75–1.90 m [ Vermeer and Rahmstorf, 2010 ], 0.8– 2.0 m [Pfeffer et al., 2008] and 0.8–1.3 m [Grinsted et al., 2010] sea level rise by 2100.”
Modelling sea level rise impacts on storm surges along US coasts (2012, methodology): “We derive our relative SLR projections from a semi-empirical model of global sea level recently proposed by Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009), whose results we modify locally by using our gauge-specific estimates of historic relative SLR.”
The use of scenarios as the basis for combined assessment of climate change mitigation and adaptation (2011, background): “These projections do not include a potential accelerated contribution of the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, which could lead to higher sea-level rises but the underlying processes are insufficiently understood and are currently not included in climate models (Meehl et al., 2007; Nicholls et”
Comparing climate projections to observations up to 2011 (2012, background): “…observed rate of sea-level rise on multi-decadal timescales over the past 130 years shows a highly significant correlation with global temperature (Vermeer and Rahmstorf 2009) by which the increase in rate over the past three decades is linked to the warming since 1980, which is very unlikely to…”
The solid Earth’s influence on sea level (2013, background): “Even more drastic scenarios that predict 1.3–2.0 m of global rise in the next century (Grinsted et al., 2009; Jevrejeva et al., 2010; Pfeffer et al., 2008; Rahmstorf, 2007; Vermeer and Rahmstorf, 2009) make sea level one of the most tangible and dramatic consequences of future climate change.”
Tidally adjusted estimates of topographic vulnerability to sea level rise and flooding for the contiguous United States (2012, background): “This century, global rise may approach 1 or even 2 m [4, 5].”
Twentieth-century global-mean sea-level rise: is the whole greater than the sum of the parts? (2013, background): “There are few model studies of thermal expansion during the last millennium (e.g., Gregory et al. 2006; von Storch et al. 2008), and we should be cautious about long-term trends from these experiments because they may be affected by slow adjustment to volcanic forcing (Gregory 2010) (Long et al.…”
Transformational adaptation when incremental adaptations to climate change are insufficient (2012, background): “The natural science literature on severe climate change has grown recently, especially focused on extreme events (38), sea level rise (39), and abrupt change (40), underlined by new greenhouse gas concentrations scenarios (41), but very few studies have examined adaptation to very severe climate cha”
