​​The Science Behind Sea Level Rise: How Past Emissions Will Shape Our Future

Union of Concerned Scientists

Because of the way the climate and ocean systems respond to heat-trapping emissions, sea levels will continue to rise even after air temperatures stabilize. Research with climate models in recent years shows that when carbon dioxide emissions stop, the rise in atmospheric temperatures will likely also stop.

Upcoming Developments in International Governance of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. to 2 o C in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Some are land-based, while others use the ocean.

Net Zero/Not Zero

Real Climate

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).

Developing Model Federal Legislation to Advance Safe and Responsible Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal Research in the United States

Law Columbia

The Sabin Center today published model federal legislation to advance safe and responsible ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR) research in U.S. Controlled field trials and other in-ocean research is critical to improve scientific and societal understanding of CDR techniques that could help the U.S. reach its climate goals.

Legal Issues in Oceanic Transport of Carbon Dioxide for Sequestration: Sabin Center Launches New Report

Law Columbia

A new report published today by the Sabin Center examines the laws governing international transport of carbon dioxide for sequestration. We focus, specifically, on the shipping of carbon dioxide that was captured in Europe to the United States for sequestration there.

The Evolving Legal Landscape for Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The Sabin Center wrapped up Climate Week NYC last Friday with an event exploring the opportunities and challenges posed by ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). As evidenced by the 150-plus people in attendance, ocean CDR is attracting growing attention as a possible climate change mitigation option.

Dr. Shaina Sadai Talks About COP27, Climate Justice, Sea Level Rise, and Corporate Accountability

Union of Concerned Scientists

My research evolved over time, but initially focused on trying to understand how ice sheet collapse—specifically Antarctic ice sheet collapse—could impact climate change around the world through changes in the oceans, sea ice and atmosphere. How did we end up with global average temperature as a metric in the Paris agreement?
