New Sea Level Estimates Project A Nearly Double Rise
- 8 years ago
A new study by two scientists from Pennsylvania State University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst has found that sea levels could rise by almost twice the estimate determined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change by the year 2100; the pair’s research included different factors not incorporated in the previous rates.
Projections of sea-level rise are being underestimated, warn two climate scientists in a new study.
In fact, the recently published paper by David Pollard of Pennsylvania State University and Robert DeConto with the University of Massachusetts Amherst describes an increase that is nearly two times the amount estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The difference in the pair’s calculations is that they
