Landform is divided into the mountains, hills, platform, basin and plain. The topography in southwest is high, while in northeast is low in Ningbo. Ningbo (120★5”-122☁6”E and 28★1”-30☃3”N), to is east is the Zhoushan Archipelago, to its north is Hangzhou Bay, to its west is the City of Shaoxing, and to its south is the City of Taizhou. 94 academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering Sciences are of Ningbo Origin, which is No. Some of them are even well-known in the world. In modern time, many first class scholars, scientists and artists of China are from Ningbo. From Tang to Qing Dynasty, altogether 2432 people passed the examination for imperial scholars and 12 of them won first places. Ningbo people attach great importance to education. The Three-River Cultural Corridor shows Ningbo’s new look as a city attaching great importance to culture. In recent years, Ningbo has completed its public culture and sports service system by vigorously building the 15-minute cultural activity circle to satisfy the ordinary people’s requirement for cultural life and sports around their residential areas. Also, it is the key place of the East Zhejiang School in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty in Chinese history. It is the birthplace of the first light of the 7,000-year-old Chinese civilization and Hemudu Neolithic Culture, and where China’s existing oldest private library is located. Ningbo is really a famous historic and cultural city in China. It is the sub-provincial city of Zhejiang Province, and is also the second largest city in Zhejiang. Nature Communications, 7.Ningbo, also called “Yong” for short, lies in the middle of the coastal line of the Chinese Mainland and in the South of the Yangtze River Delta, enjoying the most developed economy in China.

The mild level is based on RCP4.5, of 2☌ temperature rise while the Extreme level is based on RCP 8.5, of 4☌ temperature rise.Īpplies to the baseline SLR, defined in the “Sea level projection” section, upon which we add flooding. Here, the coastal local flood level is added on top of the projected SLR.Īllows choosing the RCP, the greenhouse gas concentration trajectory defined by the IPCC. While in extreme cases like China and the Netherlands it could experience 5-10m of extreme sea levels. ![]() Based on the Global tides and surge reanalysis by Muis et al., (2016), it is estimated that the extreme coastal water level could be from 0.2 – 2.8m over the mean level. More frequent coastal flooding is a direct impact of sea-level rise. While the pessimistic scenario added more mechanisms of ice-sheet melting, estimating SLR at 1m-2.5m in 2100, with a projection of 10m SLR at 2300. The mid-range scenario projected 0.5-1.2m of SLR based on different representative concentration pathways (RCP) defined by the IPCC. The SLR scenarios used in this study are based on the forecasts from Climate Central – Coastal Risk Screening Tool with the following parameters:įrom two highly cited journals by Kopp et al., estimating SLR mainly due to ocean thermal expansion and ice melt. These local levels bring variability to the projected SLR from 1m to 6.5m (eg. However, in order to determine local sea level rise (SLR), one has to take into account local coastal flood levels which could be 2.8m above Mean Higher-High Water (MHHW) at extreme forecasts. Global mean sea level is projected to rise by 2m at the end of this century. ![]() Population displacement indicated bottom right.
