Figure 2

Mean potential reef accretion (RAPmax in mm yr−1) projections at Cheeca Rocks from 2019 to 2100 under the SSP2-4.5 (blue) and SSP5-8.5 (red) scenarios. Panels depict RAPmax rates in scenarios where no adaptation, 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2˚C adaptation were incorporated. The purple and orange line represents vertical accretion when M:IR cover targets are incorporated in the carbonate budget projections for SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 respectively. Trends in reef accretion are compared to SLR projections using a low- and high-resolution version of CESM (LR-CESM in grey and HR-CESM in black) (van Westen et al., 2021). The CESM SLR time series are retained near Cheeca Rocks (spatial average over 24.5 N–25.5 N and 80 W–81 W).
