Sea level alarm bells: new study flaws and global underestimation backlash. Anders Levermann, climate scientist at Potsdam/Columbia, in the mix.
Recent studies reveal that most coastal hazard assessments have underestimated sea levels by about 30cm, especially in Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific. This miscalculation suggests more land and populations are at risk from rising seas than previously thought, with impacts likely to occur sooner.
