Sea-level rise

Future sea-level rise threatens coastal populations, ecosystems and infrastructures around the world. But determining how much sea level will rise is highly dependent on society’s choice of future climate pathway, geomorphology and other physical processes such as rebound. In this collection, we collate articles that aim to better understand the mechanisms that drive sea-level rise and quantify past sea-level trends and future projections, primarily in Denmark and Greenland.

The collection is curated by editors William Colgan (GEUS, Denmark) and Catherine Jex (GEUS, Denmark).

To submit to this collection, go to make a submission and choose "Special Collection – Sea-level rise" in the list of categories during the submission process.
