About this position

?? New PhD project ??
Millennia of sea-level rise awaits: Quantifying spatial uncertainty

Sea-level rise presents one of the greatest environmental challenges for the global community. However, there is deep uncertainty in future projections beyond 2100. This uncertainty increases at higher levels of warming because we may cross thresholds in the Earth’s climate-system which result in rapid irreversible ice loss, potentially causing global sea-level rise of ~15 m by 2300 (IPCC AR6). These eventualities cannot be ruled out and quantification of uncertainties is needed as part of climate risk assessment and coastal decision-making. Current research focuses on global mean sea-level rise until 2300, and not spatially variable, local long-term projections. The palaeo record shows that we are already committed to sea-level rise for millennia due to the long-term response of the ice sheets to warming. This project will seek to explore and quantify the uncertainties of spatially variable sea level on timescales of 100’s to 1000’s of years.

This project is part of the new UNRISK NERC Centre for Doctoral Training hosted at the University of Leeds , with partners at the UK MetOffice.
