Sea-level rise results from a combination of several processes, from polar ice sheet loss to mountain glacier melt and more. Structured in a dynamic format, this COP29 event asked audience members to test their knowledge about sea-level rise with experts from the major cryosphere dynamics that drive sea-level rise. Speakers included Dr. Florence Colleoni, SCAR and the Italian National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics; Dr. David Rounce, Carnegie Mellon University; Dr. Bella Rowell, ICCI’s Antarctica Director; and Dr. James Kirkham, Chief Science Advisor to the Ambition on Melting Ice (AMI) High-level Group.
