It is estimated on the basis of observed changes since the beginning of this century, that global warming of 1.5 °C to 4.5 °C would lead to a sea-level rise of 20-140 centimeters. A sea level rise in the upper portion of this range would have major direct effects on coastal areas and estuaries.  3, record 1, English, - sea%2Dlevel%20rise

Une conséquence indirecte de l'échauffement est l'élévation du niveau de la mer, qui serait due pour moitié environ à la dilatation des couches supérieures de l'océan et pour moitié à la réduction des calottes glacières.  7, record 1, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20du%20niveau%20de%20la%20mer

L'élévation relative du niveau de la mer correspond à une augmentation locale du niveau de l'océan par rapport à la terre, qui peut être provoquée par la montée des eaux océaniques et/ou par une subsidence des terres émergées.  1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20relative%20du%20niveau%20de%20la%20mer

A research project on the possible effects of an accelerated sea level rise on the geomorphology and ecology of the Netherlands Wadden Sea was started in 1990 by the National Institute for Coastal and Marine Management/RIKZ of Rijkswaterstaat, the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. This project was carried out within the framework of the "Impact of Sea level On Society" (ISOS) project and the Netherlands national research programme (NRP) on Global Air Pollution and Climatic Change.  2, record 5, English, - impact%20of%20sea%20level%20rise%20on%20society

The potential consequences of climate change for The Netherlands were investigated in the study The Impact of Sea Level Rise on Society (ISOS). Various scenarios of climate change were considered, including sea level rise, changes in river discharge and storm patterns (the latter is defined as an unfavourable change in wind direction and an increase in wind intensity of 10%).  3, record 5, English, - impact%20of%20sea%20level%20rise%20on%20society
