Sea-level rise: a review of recent past and near-future trends

Auteur :
GORNITZ, V.

Description :
Global mean sea level rise is a potentially sensitive indicator of climate change. Global warming will contribute to worldwide sea-level rise (SLR) from thermal expansion of ocean water, melting of montain glaciers and polar ice sheets. These effects vary widely in their relative importance; methods of filtering some of these contamining signals are discussed in this paper. Factors that may contribute to the recent SLR will be reviewed and various future projections will be assessed.
