Jersey Shore sea level could rise 1.5 feet by 2050, Rutgers scientist predicts

AAP: The sea level is expected to rise about 1.5 feet off the Jersey Shore by 2050, and a 10-year noreaster in 2100 would cause more flooding in Atlantic City than happened during superstorm Sandy, a Rutgers scientist predicted Thursday. Sea-level rise is not a disaster in the near-term, but it is a concern that must be planned for, said Kenneth G. Miller, a Rutgers University professor and lead author of a study published this week. And to a certain extent, it doesnt matter if you believe in global...
Sea level rise and shoreline changes are lead influences on floods from tropical cyclones
2013-12-04 20:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Despite the fact that recent studies have focused on climate change impacts on the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones themselves, a research team led by Jon Woodruff of the University of Massachusetts Amherst found on review of the relevant science that sea level rise and shoreline retreat are the two more certain factors expected to drive an increase in future flood risk from such storms. Writing in the current special issue of Nature dedicated to coastal regions, geoscientist Woodruff,...
Sea level experts concerned about high-end scenarios
2013-11-23 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A survey of nearly 100 experts on sea level rise reveals that scientists think there is a good chance the global average sea level rise can be limited to less than 3.3 feet by 2100 if stringent reductions in planet-warming greenhouse gases are rapidly instituted. However, the survey, which is the largest such study of the views of the most active sea level researchers ever conducted, found that if manmade global warming were to be on the high end of the scale -- 8°F by 2100 -- the global average...
