Effects of Climate Change and Sea-Level Change on the Coastal Zone

摘要

The possibility of a global climate change, as a result of increasingconcentrations of greenhouse gases, is now widely accepted by the scientific community. In the proceedings of the Second World Climate Conference, held in Geneva the state of the art in climate modelling was reviewed with a view to predict the resulting temperature rise and resulting marine-meteo conditions, such as an accelerated sea-level rise (ASLR) and changing storm conditions with the related storm surges and waves.
