Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The Unesco COMAR working group on mean sea-level rise and its influence on the coastal zone analyses various aspects of relative sea-level change, both in recent geological and historical times and with a view towards future decades. The report provides a critical summary of the causes, likelihood and consequences of relative mean sea-level change. Most of these are seen to be site-specific rather than global. The working group also suggests components and basic considerations for the establishment of international programmes to ascertain sea-level change. Included with the text are six illustrations, one table and a list of references on the subject.The authors conclude that, while current scientific opinion does not tend toward “doomsday” forecasts of dramatic global sea-level rise, significant changes in the levels of both the land and the sea are likely. Future studies should concentrate on site-specific aspects of such changes in areas under threat. |
