| In: | Avoiding dangerous climate change. (2006.), |
| Abstract: | Considers two aspects of sea-level rise with implications for avoidance of dangerous climate change. Notes that global sea levels would rise by approx. 7 m if Greenland ice sheet were to melt and discusses likelihood of occurrence in coming centuries. Also examines time scales associated with sea-level rise and demonstrates that coastal impacts may continue long after stabilisation of global temperature. |
