A flood damage allowance framework for coastal protection with deep uncertainty in sea-level rise
D. J. Rasmussen, Maya K. Buchanan, Robert E. Kopp +1
Future projections of Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) mass loss remain characterized by deep uncertainty (i.e., behavior is not well understood or widely agreed upon by experts). This co…
Evolution of 21st Century Sea-level Rise Projections
Andra J. Garner, Jeremy L. Weiss, Adam Parris +4
The modern era of scientific global-mean sea-level rise (SLR) projections began in the early 1980s. In subsequent decades, understanding of driving processes has improved, and new…
Coastal flood implications of 1.5 °C, 2.0 °C, and 2.5 °C temperature stabilization targets in the 21st and 22nd century
D. J. Rasmussen, Klaus Bittermann, Maya K. Buchanan +4
Sea-level rise (SLR) is magnifying the frequency and severity of coastal flooding. The rate and amount of global mean sea-level (GMSL) rise is a function of the trajectory of globa…
Evolving understanding of Antarctic ice-sheet physics and ambiguity in probabilistic sea-level projections
Robert E. Kopp, Robert M. DeConto, Daniel A. Bader +6
Mechanisms such as ice-shelf hydrofracturing and ice-cliff collapse may rapidly increase discharge from marine-based ice sheets. Here, we link a probabilistic framework for sea-lev…
Probability-weighted ensembles of U.S. county-level climate projections for climate risk analysis
D. J. Rasmussen, Malte Meinshausen, Robert E. Kopp
Quantitative assessment of climate change risk requires a method for constructing probabilistic time series of changes in physical climate parameters. Here, we develop two such met…
Past and future sea-level rise along the coast of North Carolina, USA
Robert E. Kopp, Benjamin P. Horton, Andrew C. Kemp +1
We evaluate relative sea level (RSL) trajectories for North Carolina, USA, in the context of tide-gauge measurements and geological sea-level reconstructions spanning the last $\ma…
Is there a hot spot of sea-level rise acceleration along the mid-Atlantic United States? A Gaussian process decomposition of tide gauge records
Robert E. Kopp
To test a hypothesized faster-than-global sea-level acceleration along the mid-Atlantic United States, I construct a Gaussian process model that decomposes tide gauge data into sho…
