Tier 3 to ASE/EOS Prof Horton and Collaborators: Southeast Asia SEA-level Program – towards home-grown expertise on sea level science and policy

Tier 3 to ASE/EOS Prof Horton and Collaborators: Southeast Asia SEA-level Program – towards home-grown expertise on sea level science and policy

The SouthEast Asia SEA-level program, led by Prof Benjamin Horton, sets out to produce world class interdisciplinary sea-level science focused on Southeast Asia and framed to promote resilient coastal cities and communities in Singapore and the surrounding region. An important goal of the program is to train a home-grown scientific community that can respond to Singapore and Southeast Asia’s need for future sea-level projections and their interpretation, that is both the scientific basis and its translation into policy.

Tropical Indian Ocean sea level historically much more sensitive to climate change than the Pacific and Atlantic

Tropical Indian Ocean sea level historically much more sensitive to climate change than the Pacific and Atlantic

The sea-level of the Indian Ocean is rising at a rate and magnitude nearly twice the global average, but insufficient data records have stood in the way of understanding this strong response to climate. In a study recently published in Nature Geoscience, ASE/EOS researchers Dr Kyle Morgan, Research Assistant Ke Lin, A/P Xianfeng Wang and Keven Roy together with colleagues from Canada, Australia and New Zealand tracked relative sea level change on coral atoll islands in the Maldives over the past two millennia.
