Tulane study finds 1990s sea-level projections remarkably accurate

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 30-year satellite data confirms mid-1990s sea-level projections were accurate Global sea-level rise has averaged one-eighth inch per year, accelerating recently Early models underestimated melting ice sheets, highlighting future coastal risks Study emphasizes need for localized projections for regions like south Louisiana More than 30 years of satellite measurements confirm that global sea-level projections made in the mid-1…

Sea-level projections from the 1990s were spot on, Tulane study says

Tulane researchers found that mid-1990s climate projections of sea-level rise were remarkably accurate when compared with 30 years of satellite data. The 1996 IPCC report predicted about 8 cm of rise, close to the 9 cm observed, though it underestimated ice-sheet contributions. The study highlights both the credibility of climate models and the importance of continued monitoring. Researchers stress the need for region-specific projections, espec…

Sea-level projections from the 1990s were spot on, study says

Global sea-level change has now been measured by satellites for more than 30 years, and a comparison with climate projections from the mid-1990s shows that they were remarkably accurate, according to two Tulane University researchers whose findings were published in Earth's Future.

Satellite data confirms 1990s projections of ocean rise

Global sea-level rise over the past three decades closely matches climate projections made in the mid-1990s, a new study has found.

Research confirms accuracy of 1990s sea-level projections as global data shows accelerating rise

Researchers at Tulane University have made significant advancements in understanding global sea-level rise, concluding that projections made in the mid-1990s
