“The IPCC report and sea level change”

In August, the IPCC sixth assessment report was published. The report is a comprehensive overview and assessment of the current state of climate science. During the lecture, we will first discuss the IPCC itself: what is IPCC, how does it work, and what is the procedure towards an IPCC report? Then, we will discuss the main findings of the report, with a focus on observed and projected changes in sea level. Which processes are driving sea-level change, and how will sea levels change in the future?
