Abstract

The research methodologies for on climate change, particularly the deterministic factors have undergone gradual changes during last few decades in respective IPCC’s Assessment Reports. The original concept of emission scenarios (2000) was reconsidered as socio-economic scenarios till AR4, later appraised as Representative Concentration Pathways till AR5 based on Radiative Forcing, the capacity of a gas affecting the change in energy (trajectories not emissions) in the atmosphere. Lately in AR6 the criterion is assessed in terms of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and scenarios projected up to 2100. The resultant sea level rise also has undergone multiple changes in their forecast, especially due to the uncertain and fast changes in the dynamics of melting of ice-sheets. This paper calls for evaluation of impact of sea level rise on critical infrastructure in Ports and Harbours in view of the fingerprint of uncontrolled and rapid increasing of melting of ice. The criticalities on marine structures have been reviewed and the concern is emphasized.

Author Biography

  • SUDIPTA CHAKRABORTY, Research Scholar , Civil Engineering Department, The Assam Royal Global University Betkuchi NH 37 Guwahati Assam 781035 India
    Born on December 05,1957 at Shalboni in West Midnapur District in the state of West Bengal, India, Sudipta Chakraborty had his schooling in Midnapur Collegiate School and had his graduation in Civil Engineering from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpore (Erstwhile known as Bengal Engineering College) in 1978. He had M. Tech in Aeronautical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He is an alumnus of International Institute of Insfrastructure, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands, a Fellow of Institution of Engineers (India) and a Life Member Of PIANC, Belgium. Sudipta had worked for 26 Years at Haldia, the deep-drafted satellite port, in India’s only Riverine Port of Kolkata. During his professional journey through the career ladder upto the position of Head of the Infrastructure Division, over the years he was deeply associated with various capital development projects of Haldia Port. After parting from port services in 2008 he later worked in various reputed construction and consultancy firms. He was associated with very large marine infrastructure works like Dredging of 33KM long channel of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and Mumbai Harbour, Reclamation of 90 Hectare of land from Arabian Sea for the Container Terminal of ‘Port of Singapore Authority’ within Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, Mumbai, Multimodal Inland Water Terminal at River Ganges at Varanasi etc. Sudipta has a few monographs published in International Journals from London, Denmark, Singapore etc. He is a reviewer of papers for International Conference on Coasts & Ports, Australia. Journal Of Coastal Research, USA. Presently Sudipta is a researcher in Coastal Engineering. He has authored a book 'Sea Level Rise : Are we ready?'
