We (Svetlana Jevrejeva, Aslak Grinsted and Guy Woppelmann) are
convening a session entitled "Sea level rise" (CL4.3/CR3.8/OS1.14) at
the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2015, Vienna, Austria,
12 – 17 April 2015.
A detailed description of the session can be found at the end of this
e-mail or at:
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2015/session/17050
As you will notice, our session covers a wide range of research topics
in the areas of sea level science. We would appreciate if you would
consider submitting an abstract by the deadline of the 07 January
2015. Submission of an abstract can be done by following the
appropriate link at the above website.
Please also feel free to forward this email to interested colleagues.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna for a scientifically
stimulating and socially enjoyable meeting.
Sincerely,
Guy Woppelmann (University La Rochelle-CNRS, UMR LIENSS 7266, France)

Session description CL4.3/CR3.8/OS1.14:
We invite contributions from studies using historical and recent
estimates of sea level from tide gauges, satellites, ocean,
cryosphere, and earth models to improve our understanding of the past
and present changes in sea level, and to produce better predictions of
future change.
Various questions will be discussed in this session. For example, do
we fully understand the reasons for the global and regional sea level
rise in the past, present and future?
- What is the role of ocean dynamics and fresh water flux from melting
glaciers and ice sheets in determining patterns of sea level change?
- How unusual is the rate of present day sea level rise compared to
the last centuries?
- What fraction of this recent sea level rise can be attributed to
human activities?
- What observations are needed to better understand sea level rise and
variability, in particular to anticipate future changes and impacts at
the coast?
