SeaLevelRise.se - Sweden - Sea level rise 55.0 m

Maps

Sweden at 55.0 m sea level rise. This is the approximate rise if all ice sheets outside East Antarctic melt, plus 80% of East Antarctic. 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.

SLR +55.0 m

When?

Depending on method chosen, the time when 55.0 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	-	10378	-	-
Linear	0.976	18806	18533	19087
Square	0.986	3035	2978	3102
Cubic	0.988	2268	2247	2300
Exponential	0.987	2237	2234	2240
