Figure 3.24 Projected relative sea-level change for Iqaluit and Alert (after James et al., 2014), based on the IPCC AR5 (Church et al., 2013a, 2013b) and also vertical crustal motion (uplift rate, given to nearest 0.5 mm/yr) derived from GPS observations. Projections are given through the century for the RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios. The rectangles show the 90% confidence interval (5% to 95%) of the average projection for the period 2081–2100 for each of those three scenarios and also RCP6.0. The dashed red line gives the 95th percentile value for RCP8.5. The projected value at 2100 is also given for a scenario in which West Antarctica contributes an additional 65 cm of global sea level rise, added to the median projection of RCP8.5 (RCP8.5+W.Ant; green triangle).
