GELs Education Program in Hiroshima University (MEXT Special Coordination Fund) Results Conclusions 1. Relative SLR trend (1993~2007) 4.46 mm/yr at Hiron Point 2. Relative SLR to 2050 0.34 m 3. 1.91 m < 100-yr RL < 2.48 m 4. The residual non-linear trend can be considered as a relative SLR trend due to long-term local effects such as seismic movements and local subsidence. 5. Ensemble EMD is a useful tool for determining a non-linear trend, detrending and filtering. Further improvements 1. Semi-empirical approach (Rahmstorf, 2007; Vermeer and Rahmstorf, 2009; Rahmstorf et al., 2012) can be applied for further improvement of regional projection rather than simple extension of polynomial. 2. Return levels of storm surge depend on past condition without considering regional future climates. It also has to be improved.

Reconstructed source data is decomposed into 18 IMFs and the residue (non-linear trend) 2. Following the definition of storm surge, the tidal variations are detided 3. Then, annual maxima of storm surges is applied to EVAto obtain extreme storm surge 4. Regional projection of relative SLR is conducted by polynomial extension 8 Regional SLR projection: 0.34 m to 2050 relative SLR trend storm surge Return Level
