Background

Hong Kong has extensively urbanized low-lying land reclamations threatened by short-term typhoon-induced storm surges and long-term future sea-level rise. It is therefore important to study past records in order to obtain information on future risks.

This presentation will examine local evidence for sea-level changes dating back to about 0.5 million years including tide gauge records and satellite remote sensing measurements. Uncertainties on future sea-level rise projections will be highlighted. 

Speaker

Prof Wyss Yim from the University of Hong Kong
