New sea-level rise projections for Sweden are presented. Compared to earlier projections,
we have here, more carefully, taken regional variations in sea-level rise into consideration …

Projections of global-scale extreme sea levels and resulting episodic coastal flooding over the 21st Century

E Kirezci, IR Young, R Ranasinghe, S Muis… - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of
episodic coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated …

Extreme sea levels at different global warming levels

C Tebaldi, R Ranasinghe, M Vousdoukas… - Nature Climate …, 2021 - nature.com
The Paris agreement focused global climate mitigation policy on limiting global warming to
