SeaLevelRise.se - Earth - Sea level rise 45.0 m

Maps

Earth at 45.0 m sea level rise. This is the approximate rise if all ice sheets outside East Antarctic melt, plus 60% of East Antarctic. Maps, with and without labels, are centered on 0°N 0°E. Sea and land altitude refers to present sea level, flooded surfaces are in violet. Sea level rise (SLR) above present sea level.

SLR +45.0 m

When?

Depending on method chosen, the time when 45.0 m sea level rise is predicted to be reached varies widely. Here are a few examples based on linear extrapolation on the average sea level rise since the last glacial maximum, approximately 135 m in 21,000 years (Post-Glacial), and on extrapolation of curves fitted to NASA satellite data 1993.0-2019.3, stating Method, coefficient of determination (R2), Year CE/AD, Lower and Upper 99.9% confidence intervals limit years, using Linear, Square, Cubic and Exponential regression.

Method	R2	Year	Lower	Upper
Post-Glacial	-	8845	-	-
Linear	0.976	15750	15527	15980
Square	0.986	2933	2883	2994
Cubic	0.988	2250	2231	2280
Exponential	0.987	2229	2227	2232

Consequences

Interactive table showing estimates of consequences, like land loss and population displacement, if no preventive measures are made, for all of Earth and all countries (except the Vatican), and some dependencies, at 45.0 m sea level rise.
