Projecting Sea-Level Rise: from Ice Sheets to Local Implications
The PROTECT project aims to assess and project changes in land ice on Earth to produce robust global, regional and local projections of sea level rise across a range of timescales, while also clearly quantifying any uncertainties. The project will place particular emphasis on future scenarios where the probability is low, but the impact would be high, something which is of high importance to governments and agencies responsible for planning for sea level rise.
Coordinated by the Institute for Geoscience and Environmental research (IGE) of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) the PROTECT Consortium includes 27 institutions from EU member states, as well as associated and third countries:

- Universität Zürich (UZH)
- Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ)
- United Kingdom Research an Innovation (UKRI-BAS)
- Global Climate Forum (GCF)
- Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM)
- Potsdam Institute für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK)
