Sea Level Rise Mitigation by Global Sea Water Desalination Using Renewable-Energy-Powered Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work suggests a solution for preventing/eliminating the predicted Sea Level Rise (SLR) by seawater desalination and storage through large number of plants distributed worldwide; it also comprises that desalinated can resolve global water scarcity complete coverage demand. level rise be prevented desalinating additional accumulated into oceans annually human consumption, while excess amount stored in dams lakes. It is SLR plants. The chosen study were Multi-Effect Desalination (MED) Reverse Osmosis (RO) are powered renewable energy using wind solar technologies. observed two main goals fulfilled when preventing an between 1.0 m 1.3 2100 desalination, as within range cover demand being economically viable.

متن کاملMitigation and Adaptation Responses to Sea Level Rise
Owing to climate change, according to annual Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports, sea level rise is inevitable. The sea level rise in different parts of the coastal areas in the world continents, may be calculated and thus predicted for ten years in the future, a hundred years out and beyond, with decreasing confidence. Amongst experts, the amount of sea level rise at diffe...
متن کاملDelaying future sea-level rise by storing water in Antarctica
Even if greenhouse gas emissions were stopped today, sea level would continue to rise for centuries, with the long-term sea-level commitment of a 2 C warmer world significantly exceeding 2 m. In view of the potential implications for coastal populations and ecosystems worldwide, we investigate, from an ice-dynamic perspective, the possibility of delaying sea-level rise by pumping ocean water on...
متن کاملMitigation of short-lived climate pollutants slows sea-level rise
Under present growth rates of greenhouse gas and black carbon aerosol emissions, global mean temperatures can warm by as much as 2 C from pre-industrial temperatures by about 20501,2. Mitigation of the four short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), methane, tropospheric ozone, hydrofluorocarbons and black carbon, has been shown to reduce the warming trend by about 50% (refs 1,2) by 2050. Here we ...
متن کاملContemporary sea level rise.
Measuring sea level change and understanding its causes has considerably improved in the recent years, essentially because new in situ and remote sensing observations have become available. Here we report on most recent results on contemporary sea level rise. We first present sea level observations from tide gauges over the twentieth century and from satellite altimetry since the early 1990s. W...
