Simulating the Effects of Sea Level Rise on the Resilience and Migration of Tidal Wetlands along the Hudson River
Sea Level Rise (SLR) caused by climate change is impacting coastal wetlands around the globe. Due to their distinctive biophysical characteristics and unique plant communities, freshwater tidal wetlands are expected to exhibit a different response to SLR as compared with the better studied salt marshes. In this study we employed the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM), which simulates reg...
متن کاملAccelerated sea-level rise from West Antarctica.
Recent aircraft and satellite laser altimeter surveys of the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica show that local glaciers are discharging about 250 cubic kilometers of ice per year to the ocean, almost 60% more than is accumulated within their catchment basins. This discharge is sufficient to raise sea level by more than 0.2 millimeters per year. Glacier thinning rates near the coast during ...
متن کاملPotential Effect of Sea Level Rise on Rambai River, Malaysia
Sea level rise could alter the boundary conditions of tidal rivers. This in turn would modify the hydrodynamic behaviour of coastal rivers and consequently their backwater rise. This paper presents the effect of modified boundary conditions on river peak stage and flow resulting from probable levels of sea level rise on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The study site is a tidal affected r...
متن کاملSea-Level Rise and Coastal Wetlands Impacts and Costs
The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues. An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expresse...
متن کاملClimate Change: The Impacts of Sea Level Rise on Egypt
Introduction Sea level changes are caused by several natural phenomenon; the three primary contributing ones are: ocean thermal expansion, glacial melt from Greenland and Antarctica (plus a smaller contribution from other ice sheets), and change in terrestrial storage. Among those, ocean thermal expansion has been expected to be the dominating factor behind the rise in sea level. However, new d...
