caption: '(a) The relationship between peak global mean temperature, maximum global mean sea level (GMSL), and source(s) of meltwater for two periods in the past with global mean temperature comparable to or warmer than present. Light blue shading indicates uncertainty of GMSL maximum. Red pie charts over Greenland and Antarctica denote fraction, not location, of ice retreat. Atmospheric CO2 levels in 2100 are shown under RCP8.5 (b) GMSL rise from −500 to 1900 CE, from Kopp et al.’sa0130167-b319-493d-bedc-7cab8f8fe9d9 geological and tide gauge-based reconstruction (blue), from 1900 to 2010 from Hay et al.’s7c318710-b8fb-4e09-9982-546f2b60be67 tide gauge-based reconstruction (black), and from 1992 to 2015 from the satellite-based reconstruction updated from Nerem et al.7b7ffcb0-766c-43b3-ac22-db29fbffef71 (magenta).

caption: '(a) Contributions of ocean mass changes from land ice and land water storage (measured by satellite gravimetry) and ocean volume changes (or steric, primarily from thermal expansion measured by in situ ocean profilers) and their comparison to global mean sea level (GMSL) change (measured by satellite altimetry) since 1993. (b) An estimate of modeled GMSL rise in the absence of 20th century warming (blue), from the same model with observed warming (red), and compared to observed GMSL change (black). Heavy/light shading indicates the 17th–83rd and 5th–95th percentiles. (c) Rates of change from 1993 to 2015 in sea surface height from satellite altimetry data; updated from Kopp et al.e8f60819-839e-4772-8a49-7c57d9c53424 using data updated from Church and White.94a8514e-063e-45ef-b893-11c82b49a597 (Figure source: (a) adapted and updated from Leuliette and Nerem 2016,205a8499-bda4-4910-b26a-585acbb3729d (b) adapted from Kopp et al. 2016a0130167-b319-493d-bedc-7cab8f8fe9d9 and (c) adapted and updated from Kopp et al. 2015e8f60819-839e-4772-8a49-7c57d9c53424 ).'

caption: '(a) Tidal floods (days per year) exceeding NOAA thresholds for minor impacts at 28 NOAA tide gauges through 2015. (b) Historical exceedances (orange), future projections through 2100 based upon the continuation of the historical trend (blue), and future projections under median RCP2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 conditions, for two of the locations—Charleston, SC and San Francisco, CA. (c) Water level heights above average highest tide associated with a local 5-year recurrence probability, and (d) the future decade when the 5-year event becomes a 0.2-year (5 or more times per year) event under the Interagency Intermediate scenario; black dots imply that a 5-year to 0.2-year frequency change does not unfold by 2200 under the Intermediate scenario.
