Throughout the 20th century, the global mean sea level (GMSL) grew rapidly with an average rate of 1.4-1.7 mm/yr Kopp et al., 2016). The rate accelerated in the latter half of the 20th century and into the 21st century (Dangendorf et al., 2019) with the sea-level rise (SLR) estimated to be 3.2 mm/yr between 1993 and 2010 (Dangendorf et al., 2017), which is the fastest rise in the past 3000 years (Kopp et al., 2016). These changes in global sea level are not spatially homogeneous, with large variations in rates across the globe (Bromirski et al.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
