Local sea-level changes differ significantly from global-mean sea-level change as a result of
(1) non-climatic, geological background processes;(2) atmosphere/ocean dynamics; and (3) …

Using a 25-y time series of precision satellite altimeter data from TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1,
Jason-2, and Jason-3, we estimate the climate-change–driven acceleration of global mean …

Previous studies reconstructed twentieth-century global mean sea level (GMSL) from sparse
tide-gauge records to understand whether the recent high rates obtained from satellite …

While there is evidence for an acceleration in global mean sea level (MSL) since the 1960s,
its detection at local levels has been hampered by the considerable influence of natural …

Rising extreme sea levels (ESLs) and continued socioeconomic development in coastal
zones will lead to increasing future flood risk along the European coastline. We present a …

Global sea levels have been rising through the past century and are projected to rise at an
accelerated rate throughout the 21st century. This has motivated a number of authors to …

Explaining extreme events of 2014 from a climate perspective Special Supplement to the
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Vol. 96, No. 12, December 2015 From A Climate …

Uncertainties in the rate and magnitude of sea-level rise (SLR) complicate decision making
on coastal adaptation. Large uncertainty arises from potential ice mass-loss from Antarctica …

Coastal wetlands perform a unique set of physical, chemical, and biological functions, which
provide billions of dollars of ecosystem services annually. These wetlands also face myriad …

Relative sea level rise (RSLR) has driven large increases in annual water level
exceedances (duration and frequency) above minor (nuisance level) coastal flooding …
