"Global Sea Level (GSL) embodies many aspects of the global hydrological cycle and reflects the heat content of the oceans because the density of sea water depends on temperature. GSL is therefore a potent indicator of climate change and a key observational constraint on climate models." (PHYSICS TODAY) This article discusses global sea-level rise and examines its importance, particularly to those who live in coastal areas.
