The projections presented here are based on the report "Sea Level Change for Norway- Past and Present Observations and Projections to 2100", commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency. All numbers are corrected for post-glacial rebound.

Important information about the projections

Users should note that the projections presented here could be exceeded if the ice sheets respond to global warming faster than expected, for example, if a collapse of the marine-based parts of Antarctica is initiated. This potential additional contribution from Antarctica is not well understood and is an active area of research.

For the time beyond 2100, it is virtually certain that global sea-level rise will continue due to the long response times of the oceans and ice sheets.
