Cancer Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 ... unless you know in advance that for that terrain type, higher sea level mobilizes the material near the ground and thus is known to cause subsidence. That's built into some models, but I genuinely don't know if it is in this instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Sea level rise computations are pretty complicated. Local gravity, subsidence, weather, and thermal expansion all play a role. IIRC sea level is actually expected to drop around places like Greenland, where the water is cold and where there won't be a huge mass of ice to gravitationally attract water. I heard on NPR yesterday that someone had done a localized study of expected sea level rise but I can't find a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
