Simulated sea level in past and future climates of the Baltic Sea

Recent Change—Sea Level and Wind Waves

The birth and death of lakes on young landscapes

“…The y-axis represents the number of lakes per square kilometers that are smaller than the lake area indicated on the x-axis. seems that an increase in the mean sea level exceeding 80 cm is a plausible scenario [Pfeffer et al, 2008]; this would halt relative land uplift in the Baltic Sea [Meier et al, 2004]. One consequence would be that the generation of new lakes would cease, resulting in lower lake densities in the coastal landscape.…”

A klímaváltozás emberi jogi aspektusai

“…Over large areas of formerly glaciated coastlines the continued decline in isostatic land uplift is bringing many areas within the range of sea-level rise (Smith et al, 2000). For the Baltic and Arctic coasts, sea-level rise projections under some SRES scenarios indicate an increased risk of flooding and coastal erosion after 2050 (Johansson et al, 2004;Meier et al, 2004Meier et al, , 2006Kont et al, 2007). In areas of coastal subsidence or high tectonic activity, as in the low tidal range Mediterranean and Black Sea regions, climate-related sea-level rise could significantly increase potential damage from storm surges and tsunamis (Gregory et al, 2001).…”
