Trend And Acceleration: A Multi-Model Approach To Key West Sea Level Rise, John Tenenholtz
Trend And Acceleration: A Multi-Model Approach To Key West Sea Level Rise, John Tenenholtz
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Sea level rise (SLR) varies depending on location. It is therefore important to local residents, businesses and government to analyze SLR locally. Further, because of increasing ice melt and other effects of climate change, rates of SLR may change. It is therefore also important to evaluate rates of change of SLR, which we call sea level acceleration (SLA) or deceleration.
The present thesis will review the annual average sea level data compiled at the Key West tidal gauge in Key West, Florida. We use a multi-model approach that compares the results of various models on that data set. The goal …

In this dissertation we develop a formalism for the computation of observables due to acceleration-induced particle physics processes. By using the spacetime structure produced by acceleration, we examine the properties of accelerated particle detectors as well as accelerated fields. General expressions for the transition rate, multiplicity, power, spectra, and displacement law of particles undergoing time-dependent acceleration and transitioning into a final state of arbitrary particle number are obtained. The transition rate, power, and spectra are characterized by unique polynomials of multiplicity and thermal distributions of both bosonic and fermionic statistics. The acceleration-dependent multiplicities are computed in terms of the branching …
