Past, present, and potential future rates ofsea-level rise“Geologic past”(Fairbanks, 1989;Horton et al. 2009)“Projections”(Rahmstorf, 2007)“Instrumental record”(Church and White, 2006)Rate of SLR (mm/yr)Years before present
Historic and Projected Sea-level RiseIPCC AR4A1B envelopeSeveral projections suggest ~60-150+cm rise is possible over the next century(modified after Rahmstorf, 2007; A1B envelope <strong>from</strong> IPCC, 2007)(modified after Rahmstorf, 2007; AR4 data <strong>from</strong> Bindoff, 2007)
