Sea-level change: evidence, challenges and policy

Activity: Attending an eventParticipating in or organising workshops, courses, seminars etc.

Description

Sea level rise is one of the main impacts of anthropogenic climate change,
with large effects on human societies; however large uncertainties remain on the magnitude
and timing of global mean and regional sea level rise. Mitigation and adaptation to sea level
rise are key to resilience of world coasts; and strong communication of sea level scientists
with policy makers and coastal communities is critical for the design and implementation of
effective measures. This Summer School will provide Ph.D. students and junior scientists
interested in sea level research with dedicated lectures and practical experience on advanced
techniques and open challenges to measure, explain and predict sea level change. In addition,
attendees will learn and discuss about how decision makers use available knowledge and
assessment of uncertainties concerning future sea level change. The school has a strong
component on hands-on learning, with practical exercises and various activities. Participants
will also receive a training on science communication.
