Projections of sea level rise — Jonathan Gregory

What this document is

This is a presentation titled ‘Projections of sea level rise’ by Jonathan Gregory, described on its opening slide as the lead author of Chapter 13, Sea level change, of the IPCC assessment.

It sets out the causes of global mean sea level rise (GMSLR), explaining that it is caused by an increase in the volume of the global ocean, which in turn results from warming the ocean (thermal expansion), the loss of ice by glaciers and ice sheets, and a reduction of liquid water storage on land. This page does not reproduce the document’s specific projections, which should be read from the source.
