Future sea level rise dominates changes in worst case extreme sea levels along the global coastline by 2100 (2023)
Journal Article
Jevrejeva, S., Williams, J., Vousdoukas, M. I., & Jackson, L. P. (2023). Future sea level rise dominates changes in worst case extreme sea levels along the global coastline by 2100. Environmental Research Letters, 18(2), Article 024037. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/acb504

We provide the magnitude of a worst case scenario for extreme sea levels (ESLs) along the global coastline by 2100. This worst case scenario for ESLs is calculated as a combination of sea surface height associated with storm surge and wave (100 year...
