Sea-Level Changes

2015
Sea levels are always changing, for many reasons. Some changes are rapid, while others take place very slowly. The changes can be local, or extend globally. Sea levels, particularly extremes, are important for coastal flooding and coral reef development, both of which may be impacted by climate change.

Sea Level Processes and Effects of Sea Level Change

1982
When studying sedimentary rocks on land, the first question a geologist will ask is whether the sediment was laid down above or below sea level, that is, whether or not it is of marine origin. For marine sediments, the next question usually is about the depth of deposition, that is, about the position of sea level relative to the sedimentary ...

Contemporary Sea Level Rise

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2010
Measuring sea level change and understanding its causes has considerably improved in the recent years, essentially because new in situ and remote sensing observations have become available. Here we report on most recent results on contemporary sea level rise.

Sea level change

2013
This chapter considers changes in global mean sea level, regional sea level, sea level extremes, and waves. Confidence in projections of global mean sea level rise has increased since the Fourth Assessment Report(AR4) because of the improved physical understanding of the components of sea level, the improved agreement of process-based models with ...

Monitoring Sea Level Changes

Climatic Change, 1995
Future sea level rise arouses concern because of potentially deleterious impacts to coastal regions. These will stem not only from the loss of land through inundation and erosion, but also from increased frequency of storm floods, with a rising base level, even with no change in storm climatology, and from saltwater intrusion and greater amounts of ...

SEA LEVEL STUDIES | Overview

2007
Understanding relative sea-level changes helps explain critical interactions in Earth environmental systems throughout the Quaternary. Relative sea-level changes record transfers of mass between oceans and continents during expansion and contraction of great ice sheets driven by climate change.

Sea level change. Inherited landscapes and sea level change.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 2015
Enabled by recently gained understanding of deep-seated and surficial Earth processes, a convergence of views between geophysics and sedimentary geology has been quietly taking place over the past several decades. Surface topography resulting from lithospheric memory, retained at various temporal and spatial scales, has become the connective link ...
