Sea-Level Secrets: Insights and Innovations From Coastal Science

by Weiqing Han, Lei Zhang, Gerald A Meehl

Sea-Level Secrets: Insights and Innovations from Coastal Science delves into the intricate dynamics of sea level rise, presenting a curated collection of journal articles that uncover the multifaceted nature of this pressing global challenge. This compendium is more than just an aggregation of research findings; it offers a nuanced exploration of the factors driving sea level changes, including thermal expansion, ice sheet melting, and localized geological subsidence. Readers will encounter detailed studies on phenomena such as Compounded Height-Heat EXtreme (C-HHEX) events in Indonesian waters, Antarctic ice shelf vulnerabilities, and the impacts of regional oceanic internal variability. With contributions that range from global to regional analyses, the book sheds light on the complex interactions between natural forces and human-induced changes that shape our coastal environments. Each article provides critical insights into the past, present, and potential future scenarios of sea level dynamics, making this a crucial resource for scientists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of our coastal ecosystems.
