New Study Shows that Sea Level Rise Resulting From Collapse of West Antarctic Ice Sheet Would be Non-Uniform; Some Regions to See Levels Much Higher Than Previously Predicted

Green Car Congress

Recent projections of sea-level rise after a future collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (for example, the Fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report) assume that meltwater will spread uniformly (eustatically) across the oceans once marine-based sectors of the West Antarctic are filled. Mitrovica et al.

Study Finds Unexpected Decadal Decline in Global Evapotranspiration, Links It to Moisture Limitation in Southern Hemisphere

Green Car Congress

This is a key component of the global climate system, linking the cycling of water with energy and carbon cycles. Climate change is expected to intensify the hydrological cycle and to alter evapotranspiration, with implications for ecosystem services and feedback to regional and global climate. —Jung et al.

NRC report projects sea level off most of California will rise at slightly higher rate than global average; lower rate for Oregon, Washington, NorCal; variety of factors affect outcome

Green Car Congress

Projected sea-level rise off California, Oregon, and Washington for 2030 (blue), 2050 (green), and 2100 (pink), relative to 2000, as a function of latitude. Sea levels off Washington, Oregon, and northern California will likely rise less, about 60 centimeters over the same period of time.
