Extended Data Fig. 6: Projected median long-term shoreline change under RCP8.5 by the year 2050 (dx_shore,LT), for the 26 IPCC SREX sub-regions and the worldwide average.

Projected median long-term shoreline change under RCP8.5 by the year 2050 (dx_shore,LT), for the 26 IPCC SREX sub-regions and the worldwide average (horizontal bar plot; positive/negative values express accretion/erosion in m). Shoreline change is considered to be the result of SLR retreat (R) and ambient shoreline change trends (AC). Pie plots show the relative contributions of R and AC to the projected median dx_shore,LT, with transparent patches expressing accretive trends. Vertical bar plots show the relative contributions of R and AC, as well as that of RCPs, to the total uncertainty in projected median dx_shore,LT.
