| Results and Impact | I gave a 20 minute presentation on modelling the Antarctic ice sheet contribution to sea level rise in warmer than modern climates, it's challenges, and how uncertainties in processes that contribute to sea level change could influence sea level response to anthropogenic warming in terms of rate and magnitude. I then chaired a discussion, inviting comment and debate from the audience which included academic peers, policy professionals and members of the general public. We discussed barriers to communicating uncertainties in science, how non-specialists deal with uncertainty in their every day lives and how this could influence successful communication of uncertain sea level science, and examples of projects which have successfully incorporated uncertain future sea level rise into their design and planning. |
