Project overview
Existing sea-level rise projections do not account for the longer-term changes in global land-based ice volume. Although this ice-sheet contribution to sea-level change develops over decades to centuries, its long-term impact is large and virtually irreversible. It therefore dominates the uncertainty in future sea-level projections.
The aims of this project were to:
Quantify sea-level variation during interglacial periods (warm periods in between global ice ages)
Quantify relationships between global ice volume and climatalogical control processes
