The World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Sea Level 2022 Conference will provide an opportunity to share the present status and future of climate-related sea-level research with a strong focus on the application of sea-level science for adaptation and stakeholder needs. Given the critical need for risk assessment and coastal adaptation, it will include direct participation by a global cross-section of both leading sea level researchers and adaptation practitioners. The conference will feature a robust conversation between these communities to inform efforts to bridge science and society at this critical moment, including consideration of the new structure of WCRP.
Conference Themes:
Paleo sea-level and glacial isostatic adjustment
Quantifying the contribution of land ice to near-future sea level rise
Sea level budget
Coastal sea level variability
Progress and challenges for regional sea level, including projections and applications
Practitioner day with talks and panels on the use of science and translation on planning, risk management, adaptation action and practiees in small island nations and large cities
Notes
Call for abstracts and registration to the Sea Level 2022 Conference are open. The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 15 April 2022.
