|a Any warming of our planet will inevitably lead to a higher sea level due to
thermal expansion of ocean water and melting of ice stored on the land in
glaciers and ice sheets. Sea level has been rising slowly over the past 100
years. Rising sea level impacts coastal regions both by inundation and by
causing the shoreline to recede through erosion. It will have a major impact on
human societies because of the significant concentration of communities and
infrastructure in coastal regions.
Understanding the contributions to present sea-level rise, and their causes,
is crucial to projecting what might happen in the future.
The aims of this document are:
1. To update the Australian Government and the community on the latest
developments in sea-level rise research, particularly those since 2008 when
the ACE CRC produced Briefing: a post-IPCC AR4 update on sea-level rise;
2. To explain the components of sea-level rise and summarise our knowledge
of how these could influence sea-level rise in the future; and
3. To inform policymakers, planners and infrastructure developers on the tools
available to assist with adaptation to future sea-level rise. |
