Research project

Using Interglacials To Assess Future Sea_level Scenarios

Research groups:

Palaeoceanography and Palaeoclimate
Other researchers:

Professor Ivan Haigh
Status:

Not active

Project overview

Existing sea-level rise projections do not account for the longer-term changes in global land-based ice volume. Although this ice-sheet contribution to sea-level change develops over decades to centuries, its long-term impact is large and virtually irreversible. It therefore dominates the uncertainty in future sea-level projections.

The aims of this project were to:
Quantify sea-level variation during interglacial periods (warm periods in between global ice ages)
Quantify relationships between global ice volume and climatalogical control processes
