Article Synopsis
- Vertical land movements can create differences between regional relative sea-level changes and climate-driven absolute sea-level changes, which are accurately tracked by satellite since 1992.
- While vertical land motion is often modeled as a linear process, evidence suggests it can also be nonlinear due to factors like tectonic activity and groundwater extraction, leaving some uncertainties in sea-level rise projections.
- The study estimates that vertical land motion may cause relative sea-level changes of up to 50 cm by 2150, and not accounting for its nonlinear nature could increase uncertainty in projections by up to 1 meter at a regional level, emphasizing the need to consider these factors in future assessments.
