Evidence for enhanced coastal sea level rise during the 1990s

Sea level rise over the last 55 years is estimated to have been 1.7 ± 0.2 mm yr −1 , based upon 177 tide gauges divided into 13 regions with near global coverage and using a Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) model to correct for land movements. We present evidence from altimeter data that the rate ... View More
