Sea Level Research

Undertaking research on sea-level change caused by climate variability and tectonics (e.g., earthquakes and tsunamis).

Thank you @audreytrp for featuring our work on corals microatolls and mangroves in Singapore! @SeaLevelNTU @QuakesAndShakes @ginasarkawi @christabeltanwj @stressaholic @geoff677 @fangyi2110 @sea__shaw

[Audrey Tan 🐋 @audreytrp]

Seawalls/ hard structures:70%
Mangrove/mudflat:16%
Sandy beaches:12%
Rocky shores:1%

These are Singapore’s mosaic coastlines, and all need diff protection fr erosion & rising sea levels.

We combine 4pgs in the paper in 1 mobile-friendly online story:

"If an ice sheet melts, its gravitational attraction decreases and sea levels around it can go down. Conversely, regions far from a melting ice sheet, such as Singapore, will see a rise in sea level greater than the global average," says Prof Ben Horton

New paper on RSL on the Sunda Shelf using coral microatolls from Xiu Wen Wan and colleagues. Interesting discussion of the challenges using these compared with other recent microatoll-based reconstructions that are inferred to be severely eroded https://t.co/ibJjLY3aD8

The Earth lost a staggering 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. While the melting of ice bodies may occur far from Southeast Asia, they can affect us – but how? @NTU_ASE PhD student @fangyi2110 tells us more.

“You cannot put a sea wall everywhere. The other option is to try and live with sea-level rise. So this is where the marshes come in, they protect from erosion, they’ll absorb coastal waves.” - Professor Benjamin Horton ⁦@SeaLevelNTU⁩ #ClimateChange https://t.co/xNXg3Fwb7J

PRESS RELEASE: Record temperatures and #Covid19 are symptoms of planetary fever. Our analysis shows a dramatic 70% decline in online conversations about the climate globally. It's time we listen to our children and put the climate crisis back on the agenda https://t.co/8dkUJYJOPV

Mangroves offer important #ecosystem services and help combat #ClimateChange. “Projects and policies designed to use coastal ecosystems to reduce vulnerability can also achieve other societal, environmental, and economic goals.” - Prof Horton @SeaLevelNTU
