This week Tom Laakso will be presenting Kopp et al. 2016. Tom says the following about the paper: "Kopp et al. use several different methods to a) estimate sea level rise over the past 3 millenia, b) reassess 20th century sea level rise, and c) project sea level over the next 100 years. The multiple goals of this paper, and the multiple methods employed to reach them, should provide a good launching point for discussion of sea level rise.

Please also read Clark et al. (2016), a policy piece which provides valuable context. If you have a few extra moments, you may be interested in this analysis by Climate Central, which uses the results of Kopp et al. to attribute flooding events to climate change: http://www.climatecentral.org/news/the-human-fingerprints-on-coastal-floods-20050"
