This episode of A Green Space - A Green Earth
Climate change and sea level forecasting is the topic of A Green Space – A Green Earth in July.
Sea level forecasting relies on both Earth observation from space as well as data from coastal tide gauges. Climate change makes sea level estimates in the future very uncertain. What we need are sea level forecasts equivalent to weather forecasts.
The world is populated in a growing number of mega cities, cities with more than 1 million inhabitants, and people are migrating towards the coastal areas, making inhabitants in general, more vulnerable to natural hazards like sea level rise, storm surges and tsunamis.
