Sea level rise and shelf seas

Sea level rise is a key marine impact of climate change.

Sea level rise is expensive, both in terms of the damage it will cause, and the cost of defending against it. Reducing uncertainty in projected changes in sea level allows for the most appropriate and cost effective adaptation measures to be taken. There are two aspects of sea level

Sea-level rise Infographic-2a-MM

UK sea-level rise in the 21 st century Sea-level rise projections to 2100 Sea-level rise is the primary mechanism by which we expect UK coastal flood hazard to change in the future. The Met Office has projected how sea levels will rise up to 2100 around the UK coastline. The amount of sea-level

Sea-level rise Infographic-3-MM

UK sea-level rise beyond the 21 st century Sea-level rise projections beyond 2100 Sea levels will continue to rise after 2100 even if we greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Met Office has projected how sea level will rise up to 2300 around the UK coastline. The amount of sea-level rise

Global sea-level rise-Infographic-1-MM

Global sea-level rise Understanding sea-level change Global sea levels are rising due to climate change. There are several processes that cause global sea-level rise: 1. 2. 3. 4. Thermal expansion: oceans absorb trapped heat in the atmosphere and expand when they get warmer. Melting ice sheets: due

UK climate continues to change in 2021

The latest annual report shows the continuation of warmer than average years and increasing rate of sea level rise around the UK.

. This new report outlines how the rate of sea level rise around the UK is in fact increasing. While the rate of increase was 1.5mm per year since the 1900s, over the past 30 years the rates of increase have risen to 3.0-5.2mm each year depending on location around the UK. As the sea level rises around

Dr Jeff Ridley

Jeff is a climate scientist working on the understanding and modelling of ice sheets and mountain glaciers, and their likely contribution to future global sea-level rise.

Areas of expertise Polar ice sheets Mountain glaciers Sea-ice Sea-level rise Climate models Publications by Jeff Current activities Jeff's work on ice sheets involves embedding 3D models of ice sheets in the climate version of the Unified Model. Model simulations are used to evaluate the response
