Sentence examples for level rise than from inspiring English sources

Other scientific teams have tried the notoriously difficult task of forecasting ice sheet decay in physical detail, and this has tended to produce slower estimates of sea level rise than the Schaeffer team's method.

Jakarta… has a greater challenge in terms of sea level rise than most megacities, just because of its location where the sea level is rising fastest".

While this is not monumental in and of itself, it will allow alarmists to paint a dramatically different picture of sea level rise than is occurring in the real world.

That would make the WAIS the least stable of the three ice masses and so that would mean that we could expect more sea level rise than we might have bargained for".

Schuerch et al. present global-scale modelling that suggests that tidal wetlands are less vulnerable to sea-level rise than was thought.

An even larger fear is the southward and poleward progression of ice shelf collapse, Rignot said, pointing out that farther south there are ice shelves that, by stabilizing glaciers, are currently preventing vastly more sea-level rise than Larsen C does.

Warming of more than 2 degrees would have dramatic consequences: The planet's ice sheets would be far more likely to melt, triggering more sea-level rise, than at 1.5 degrees, which is considered the safer limit, according to Hans Joachim Schelln­huber, a physicist who heads the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.
