Sea-level projections for five pilot communities of the Nunavut climate change partnership
Estimates of the range of sea-level change expected in the next 90 years (2010 to 2100) for five communities in Nunavut are derived from an assessment of published estimates of projected global sea-level change and an evaluation of vertical land motion. The projections provided here are intended to...
