and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models, and projecting future sea-level rise, were carried out or checked by a colleague or student of the lead committee member. The method for extrapolating the cryospheric contribution to sea-level rise was developed in collaboration with a statistician, who also verified the results. Where possible, the data and equations for these calculations are provided in the report or the public-access file, enabling an independent check from reviewers.
The committee would like to thank the individuals who briefied the committee; supplied data, figures, or model results; or provided other input or feedback: Jonathan Allan, Brian Atwater, Patrick Barnard, Laura Brophy, John Church, Abe Doherty, Catia Domingues, Peter Gleckler, Chris Goldfinger, Dominic Gregorio, Jonathan Gregory, Eric Grossman, Junyi Guo, Erica Harris, Greg Hood, Masayoshi Ishii, Ian Joughin, Jeanine Jones, Tom Kendall, Paul Komar, Eli Levitt, Sydney Levitus, Becky Lunde, Anne Pardaens, Archie Paulson, Stephan Rahmstorf, Eric Rignot, Peter Ruggiero, Carl Safina, Ingo Sasgen, Armand Thibault, Wouter van der Wal, Hansheng Wang, Kelin Wang, Jeff Weber, Josh Willis, Frank Wu, Patrick Wu, Jianjun Yin, and Phoebe Zarnetske. Special thanks go to Balaji Rajagopalan, who developed the statistical approach for the ice extrapolations; James Foster, who compiled and analyzed leveling data in California; Richard Peltier, who provided details of his GIA models and computed past and future predictions of relative sea-level changes in Washington, Oregon, and California; and Jerry Mitrovica, who provided gravity fingerprints along the U.S. west coast for Alaska, Greenland, and Antarctica. The committee also thanks the students, postdocs, and colleagues who crunched numbers, validated results, and created (and recreated) figures, including Jianbin Duan, Zhenwei Huang, Chungyen Kuo, Darrin Sharp, Scott Waibel, and Yuchan Yi. Without the hard work and contributions of all these individuals, it would have been difficult to complete this report.
Finally, I thank all the members of the committee for their service, some of whom had to go way beyond that usually required for an NRC committee because of the short study period and the complexity of the task. Finally, I thank Anne Linn for her tireless efforts as Study Director and for bringing the report to fruition.
