A study from Nanyang Technological University predicts a rise in global sea levels of 6.2 feet by 2100 due to increasing CO2 emissions, which poses risks of flooding for many cities worldwide. Using a 'fusion' method that combines statistical approaches with expert insights, the researchers provide clearer projections than previous models, which varied significantly. Dr. Grandey emphasizes the need for planning critical infrastructure and the essential role of climate mitigation in combating this impending crisis.
If global sea levels were to rise by 6.2ft (1.9 metres), towns and cities around the world could be plunged underwater - including several in the UK.
Our new approach tackles a key issue in sea-level science: different methods of projecting sea-level rise often produce widely varying results.
