How Glacial Isostatic Adjustment Shapes Coastal Sea-Level Projections

Quick fact

In parts of Scandinavia, the land is still rising so fast that relative sea level is falling, while along the U.S. East Coast, the land is subsiding, adding hundreds of millimetres to projected sea-level rise by 2100.

Why this is interesting

The ground beneath some coastal cities is rising or sinking, and the difference can be a foot of sea-level rise or more.
