- W1716390610 abstract "The rising sea level is becoming more evident around the world as less as well asmore developed countries are starting to fully comprehend the consequenses. It isalso generally accepted that the sea level rise is accelerated by human-inducedglobal warming. Glaciers and ice sheets are melting more and more, which togetherwith temperature induced thermal expansion of the seas which leads to a global risein sea level.Sea levels rose by about eight centimetres in the period between 1961 and 2003,which can be explained by the factors of thermal expansion, melting of glaciers andmelting of continental ice in Greenland and Antarctica. There are many peoplearound the world who are strongly affected by rising sea levels, particularly denselypopulated low-lying coastal areas and islands where resources and land areas arelimited and scarce.This paper aims to examine how climate variations affect sea level rise and how sealevels have varied historically and how it is expected to vary in the future. To get abetter understanding on how low-lying coastal areas are affected, three countrieswhich are located near the coast-line have been selected as case studies. Kiribatiand Tuvalu are two island nations located in the Pacific Ocean with the highestpoints only a few meters above sea level. In the near future, large areas of theseislands are expected to be located under water due to sea level rise. Also theNetherlands was chosen as an example in order to provide a picture of how therising sea levels also affect countries in our neighbourhood.The study is conducted based on a literature review of available research in thesubject area. Three different emission scenarios, as developed by theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have been selected; scenariosA1F1, B1 and B2. When applied in climate models for future predictions, allscenarios indicate a global increase in sea level whereof A1F1 shows the highestand B1 the lowest.All three countries will be severely affected by this increase, which will result inhuge economic costs and in some cases even in the need for mass emigration." @default.
