Summary• Future sea-level rise is problematic• It is a certain impact (we have already made a commitment toseveral centuries of SLR)• It is an uncertain impact (rates and magnitudes poorlyconstrained; human response unknown)• Effective climate change decision support willrequire changes in how we do science and howdecision makers assimilate and use scientificinformation• Probabilistic approaches have many applications• Convey what we know and what we know we don’t know• Synthesize data and models• Provide basis to focus research resources• Furnish information to support decision-making
