Fig. 2

a Length-weighted, b Population-weighted. Each panel shows climate-induced SLR alone, and then progressively adds the other RSLR components comprising: (1) GIA and tectonics, (2) GIA, tectonics and delta subsidence combined and (3) GIA, tectonics, delta subsidence and uncontrolled city subsidence combined. For uncontrolled city subsidence, uncertainty is considered via a low and high estimate.
