| Publisher Description: Sea-level rise may be one of the consequences of global warming. To understand changes in sea level caused by the greenhouse effect, we must understand the factors that have caused the sea level to fluctuate significantly throughout history. This new volume explores current views among scientists on the causes and mechanisms of sea-level change. The authors examine measurement programs and make recommendations aimed at improving our understanding of the factors that affect sea level. It will be welcomed by scientists, engineers, and policymakers concerned about greenhouse issues and sea-level change, the environmental community, researchers, and students. |
