Abstract
Ancient Sea Level as Key to the Future
Highlights
Studies of ancient sea levels provide insights into the mechanisms and rates of sea level changes due to tectonic processes and climatic variations
Global mean sea level (GMSL) change is the global mean of relative sea level change and is the volume of the ocean divided by the ocean surface area (Gregory et al, 2019)
GMSL change is sometimes called “eustatic change,” which is defined with respect to some fixed datum level such as the center of the Earth and is more properly termed global mean geocentric sea level change (Gregory et al, 2019)
Summary
Scientists boarding D/V JOIDES Resolution off New Jersey in 1993. Sea level in an ice-free world would be 66 meters (216.5 feet) higher than —shoulder-high to the Statue of Liberty. Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.
