  1. Ocean rise Demands for professional knowledge Walter Brüsch (geologist – groundwater, drinking water, organic micro pollutants) Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland

  2. (Krabill et al., 1999) Melting ice on Greenland Sea ice and melting of marginal icecap

  3. Rignot & Kanagaratnam, 2006 Just now – sea level rise, contribution from Greenland app. 1 mm/yr in 2010

  4. The thermohaline circulation in the northern part of the Atlantic ocean

  5. Groundwater level rise in sandy areas but drop in clay areas=>dry summers, wet stormy winters EU, IAFP

  6. Professional knowledge Consequences of Sea Level Rise : Nature in coastal areas Invasive species, sea or land migration Dykes and low land areas near the coast Number of storms and increasing intensity – 1/100 years storm each year? Salt water intrusion in coastal groundwater reservoirs Temperature Precipitation Drought or too much water

  7. Threads to be met now: Flooding of cities, houses, vulnerable nature etc in lowlands Roads and transport, sewer and drains Tourist industry Water level in rivers and estuaries Invasive insects New pesticides Drinking water resources Etc Etc Etc

  8. Expert/ professional knowledge Local authorities Coastal experts, engineers (harbour, waste water, floods etc) Biologist, e.g. marine and zoologist, ecology, etc Climate – modelers, meteorology, etc Geology – drinking water, etc
