High-End Scenarios of Regional Sea Level Changes and their Uncertainties Workshop, University of Hamburg 20-22 November 2013

 

The workshop aims to: 
 
  • Review regional sea level projections simulated for high-end climate change scenarios as they result from CIMIP5 and other computations 
  • Discuss implications for a range of regional sea level scenarios 
  • Analyze in depth inherent uncertainties of and consistencies among existing estimates 
  • Develop a strategy as to how to further improve regional sea level projections 
  • Present studies resulting from downscaling to better address regional sea level projections and their uncertainties, e.g. for the North Atlantic, Baltic/North Sea and Mediterranean 
  • Discuss the quality of models analyzed through dedicated model-data intercomparison studies 
Results from the workshop will be important for impact studies and adaptation policies. They will be published in form of a white paper or a peer-reviewed paper on challenges and uncertainties of regional sea level change projections. 
 
The workshop will be open, but limited in size (up to 50 participants).
