Sea-level science has seen many recent developments in observations
and modelling of the different contributions and the total mean sea-level
change. In this talk I will discuss past developments in sea-level
modelling (going from IPCC AR5 to SROCC and AR6), and what are the
main differences in methods and in results. I will then show how the
models compare to observations, and present thoughts on extending
these comparisons back into the 20th century. Finally, I will discuss the
outlook for further improvements in sea-level projections.
Dr. Aimée Slangen is senior researcher at the Royal Netherlands Institute
for Sea Research (NIOZ) in Yerseke. Her research focus is sea-level
change, both in the open ocean and the interaction at the coast. With her
research group, she aims to improve our understanding of sea-level
change in the past, as well as making better projections for the future.
She was Lead Author of the IPCC AR6 report, on Chapter 9: Oceans,
Cryosphere and Sea Level Change.
