Seminar: Dr Stephen Griffies – Understanding and projecting global and regional sea level

In this presentation the speaker will survey elements of sea level change, both at the large scale and within the coastal zone. Reasons for pushing forward with refined resolution global models in order to incorporate processes along the coast that allow for more meaningful and useful projections of sea level changes and their associated impacts will be also discussed.
