We review the characteristics of sea level variability at the coast focussing on how it differs
from the variability in the nearby deep ocean. Sea level variability occurs on all timescales …

Scientists and engineers have observed for some time that tidal amplitudes at many
locations are shifting considerably due to nonastronomical factors. Here we review …

Until recently, high-resolution global modeling of tides has been done separately from high-
resolution global modeling of the atmospherically-forced oceanic general circulation. Here …

Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the
Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon can now be measured with great precision, but …

Potentially habitable planets can orbit close enough to their host star that the differential
gravity across their diameters can produce an elongated shape. Frictional forces inside the …

The long-term history of the Earth–Moon system as reconstructed from the geological record
remains unclear when based on fossil growth bands and tidal laminations. A possibly more …

Ocean tides are the main source of high‐frequency variability in the vertical and horizontal
motion of ice sheets near their marine margins. Floating ice shelves, which occupy about …

We present statistical analysis of a compilation of observational constraints on the
Precambrian length of day and find that the day length stalled at about 19 h for about 1 …

The preservation of Milankovitch cycles in the stratigraphic record provides independent
geological information to study our ancient solar system and can be leveraged to constrain …

After more than a century of doubt and equivocation, cyclostratigraphy–the stratigraphic
record of astronomically forced paleoclimatic change–has come to be widely accepted in the …
