Sea Level Rise from Antarcitc Melt

Caption

The spatial distribution of the Antarctic contribution to sea level rise at 2100 (relative to 2000) under one of the IPCC’s intermediate emissions scenarios. AOSIS members are disproportionately affected by sea level rise. Numbers shown in the map legend are factors in comparison to global mean sea level, for instance a factor of 1.2 indicates that location experiences sea level rise 1.2 times the global mean value.
