Contemporary sea-level changes from global to local scales: a review.

ABSTRACT: Sea-level variations spread over a very broad spectrum of spatial and temporal scales as a result of complex processes occurring in the Earth System in response to natural variability of the climate system, as well as to external forcing due to natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors. Here, we address contemporary sea-level changes, focusing on the satellite altimetry era (since the early 1990s), for which various observing systems from space and in situ allow precise monitoring of sea-level variations from global to local scales, as well as improved understanding of the components responsible for the observed variations. This overview presents the most recent results on observed global and regional sea-level changes and on associated causes, focusing on the interannual to decad
