Global sea level rise? New techniques for the absolute sea level measurement

I. Vilibić

Abstract

A brief review is given of recent papers on the relative mean sea level,
global sea level rise effect, and the predictions to the year 2100. The influence
of vertical crustal movements on the relative sea level is visible in the
longest sea level records. Both modern space geodetic techniques and absolute
gravity measurements have now achieved the accuracy within a centimetre
that is comparable to the quality of mean sea level records. As the extraction
of land movements from the tide gauge records is possible after
about a decade of measurements, a number of international projects have
been (e.g. SELF) and will be (e.g. MedGLOSS) launched with the aim of determining
the absolute sea level.
