EFFECT OF GREENLAND ICE MELTING IS MUCH LESS IN NORTHERN EUROPE AND HIGH IN THE US

Note that if you live in northern Europe then the sea level rise from Greenland has less effect than for most. The reason is that all the ice in the icesheet has a significant gravitational effect. It causes the sea to bunch up around Greenland for thousands of kilometers in all directions. Of course mountains do this too, but mountains don’t melt. As the ice melts then if only the Greenland ice melted, the sea near to Greenland would actually drop rather than rise due to this effect.

There are several effects here

The result of this is that places like Scotland and Scandinavia may see much less change in sea level from ice melting, because they are influenced by the mass loss from Greenland. They get almost no sea level rise from Greenland but instead - rather paradoxically until you understand the reason - are most affected by the ice melting in Antarctica.

Meanwhile the tropics are most affected because they are so far from both poles.

We can expect high sea level rises in the Western Pacific. There, many people live on low islands made up of coral, also the tidal range between high and low tide is sometimes very low, less than half a meter. They may need evacuating.

It also has severe impacts on some of the coastal regions of North and South America, the Caribbean, the West coast of Africa, Eastern Australia and some other places. In the Americas, the Bahamas are particularly affected as is Florida and many coastal cities.

This paper is from 2016 and is rather low resolution but gives an idea of the uneven sea level rises for two of the scenarios over the next century, RCP 4.5 is approximately the scenario we are on:

Sea level rises for 2030, 2060 and 2090 for the scenarios RCP4.5 (middle range) and RCP8.5 ("business as usual"). The black lines are contours for the middle of the range sea level rise so mark the boundaries of areas of the sea that rise less than normal and areas that rise more than normal.
