Fig. 5

Ensemble median of the total RSL change at 2100 CE relative to 2017 CE, determined by summing all of the contributions shown in Fig. 4 for RCP 2.6 (a) and RCP 8.5 (b). The likely range (17th–83rd percentile) of the total RSL at 2100 CE is shown for RCP 2.6 (c) and RCP 8.5 (d). White stars in (c) represent locations of the 6 settlements whose projections to 2100 CE are shown in Supplementary Fig. 5. Black circles in (d) represent locations of 3 large marine-terminating glaciers discussed in this paper. The locations of settlements/glaciers are labeled accordingly: K (Kangerlussuaq Glacier), H (Helheim Glacier), T (Tasiilaq), Q (Qaqortoq), N (Nuuk), I (Ilulissat), SK (Sermeq Kujalleq), Ku (Kullorsuaq), P (Pituffik). Projections do not exist within the white areas on each map.
