This review evaluates the importance of plants and associated biological processes in
determining the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise. Coastal wetlands occur …

Determining the rates, mechanisms, and geographic variability of relative sea-level (RSL)
change following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) provides insight into the sensitivity of ice …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Historical ecology has revolutionized our understanding of fisheries and cultural
landscapes, demonstrating the value of historical data for evaluating the past, present, and …

During the last interglacial (LIG) period, global mean sea level (GMSL) was higher than at
present, likely driven by greater high-latitude insolation. Past sea-level estimates require …

The release of new and updated sea‐level rise (SLR) information, such as from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Reports, needs to be …

Over the last half century, climate change, coral disease, and other anthropogenic
disturbances have restructured coral‐reef ecosystems on a global scale. The …

The mass die‐off of Caribbean corals has transformed many of this region's reefs to
macroalgal‐dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Although …

To facilitate biological study we define “Caribbean Islands” as a biogeographic region that
includes the Antilles, the Bahamas, and islands bordering Central and South America …

The rate and magnitude of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) contribution to global sea-level rise
beyond 2100 ce remains highly uncertain. Past changes of the AIS, however, offer …
