TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a global set of local sea-level (LSL) projections to inform decisions on timescales ranging from the coming decades through the 22nd century and provided complete probability distributions, informed by a combination of expert community assessment, expert elicitation, and process modeling.

TL;DR: A new digital elevation model utilizing neural networks is employed and it is shown that the new DEM more than triples the NASA SRTM-based estimates of current global population occupying land below projected sea levels in 2100, with more than 200 million people could be affected based on RCP4.5 and 2 degC of warming.

TL;DR: This article presented a global set of local sea-level (LSL) projections to inform decisions on timescales ranging from the com- ing decades through the 22nd century, and provided complete probability distributions, informed by a combination of expert community assessment, expert elicitation, and process modeling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of sea level rise on expected storm surge-driven water levels and their frequencies along the contiguous United States is investigated, and substantial changes in the frequency of what are now considered extreme water levels may occur even at locations with relatively slow local sea-level rise, when the difference in height between presently common and rare water levels is small.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that policy decisions made in the next few years to decades will have profound impacts on global climate, ecosystems and human societies, not just for this century, but for the next ten millennia and beyond.
