Maps

Sweden at 2.5 m sea level rise. This is a possible rise until 2100 according to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in USA) Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States 2017. Maps, with and without labels, are centered on 6900000, 600000 (SWEREF 99 TM). Sea and land altitude refers to present sea level, flooded surfaces are in violet. Sea level rise (SLR) above present sea level.

When?

Depending on method chosen, the time when 2.5 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.
