Abstract
Global average temperatures have in
creased by about 0.6°C (± 0.2°C)
during the 20th century, and are project
ed to increase by 1.4 - 5.8°C by
2100 (IPCC, 2001a). The relationship
between atmospheric warming and
sea-level rise (SLR) is well understood,
and this change is predicted to lead
to SLR of up to 1m by 2100, cr
eating consequences for coastal
communities and environments
worldwide (IPCC, 2001b).
