Summary

Description
English: This graph shows projections of global mean sea level rise (SLR) by Parris et al. (2012) [1] In 2100, global mean sea level is projected to rise by 0.2-2.0 m (0.7-6.6 ft), relative to mean sea level in 1992:

Scenario / SLR by 2100 (m) / SLR by 2100 (ft)
Highest / 2.0 / 6.6
Intermediate-high / 1.2 / 3.9
Intermediate-low / 0.5 / 1.6
Lowest / 0.2 / 0.7

Note: projections are relative to mean sea level in 1992.

SLR increases smoothly over the 21st century, with a slight acceleration over time. In 2050, SLR projections approximately range between 0.1-0.62 m (0.3-2.0 ft).

Parris et al. (2012) [2] do not assign probabilities to these scenarios. Therefore, none of these scenarios should be interpreted as a best-estimate of future SLR.
