Not exact matches

Cross-cutting relationships are observed at the valley - scale, indicating multiple episodes of water level fall and rise, each well over 50 meters, a similar scale to eustatic sea level changes on Earth.

Satellite measurements of the Patagonian icefields suggest that they are currently rapidly receding and thinning, with a measureable contribution to eustatic sea level rise2.

Working with forams in UK salt marshes, the big problem is the whole teasing apart of isostatic / eustatic influences — I noted the correction for subsidence in the paper, but are you confident in not accounting for other sources?

A dynamic (relative to the geoid) SLR induced by the weakening of the MOC is imposed on the global steric (density - dependent) and eustatic (mass - dependent) SLRs, thereby greatly enhancing the SLR rate on the northeast coast of the U.S..

Another interesting paper is Meier et al., Science, 317, 2007, wherein they point out that glaciers (as opposed to Greenland Ice sheet and Antarctica) have dominated the eustatic contribution in this century.

# 146: my understanding is that ice shelf breakup does contribute to eustatic sea - level rise, as you say, but only a little, and less so for larger ice shelves (the anchoring is more distant).

The great unknown, which the recent Hansen paper suggests at several metres, is the 21st century eustatic rise, due primarily to ice sheet melting (also melting of polar and mountain glaciers, and of ice shelves).

This time interval is marked by the Florida or Roman emergence in the eustatic record about the bce — ce boundary and succeeded by a transgression.

This interval, extending roughly from 1250 to 1500, corresponds to the Paria Emergence in the eustatic record and has been called one of the «little ice ages» by certain authors.

... The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change attributes about 6 cm century to melting and other eustatic processes, leaving a residual of 12 cm of 20th century rise to be accounted for.

Eustatic sea level (ESL) refers to the notional mean of all the oceans relative to a geoid and is measured by satellite altimetry.

► Eustatic sea - level rise is a change in global average sea level brought about by an increase in the volume of the world ocean.

Sea level changes can be driven by either variations in the masses or volume of the oceans («eustatic»), or by changes of the sea surface relative to the land («relative»).

«Eustatic» is not a proper synonym for «global.»

At the onset of the deglaciation, a ~ 500 - year long, glacio - eustatic event may have contributed as much as 10 m to sea level with an average rate of about 20 mm / yr... RSL (relative sea level) records indicate that from ~ 7 to 3 ka, GMSL likely rose 2 to 3 m to near present - day levels.

Eustatic is the interesting sea level rise, because it will not be linear over the next century like the «cautious» IPCC projections are saying.

Traditional estimates of the combined (steric plus eustatic) sea level rise (in the range 1.5 — 2 mm / y) are much too high [the Cabanes et al. (16) view];

When corrected for this, using geologically constrained model predictions, the change in eustatic sea level since the Roman Period is -0.13 ± 0.09 m.»

The results are normalized by the equivalent eustatic sea - level change for each mass flux event (see original reference).

My point in bringing this up is that 99.99 % + of the eustatic sea level changes have occurred prior to mans existance.

Note that these trends may include a component of subsidence / uplift of the islands themselves and so are the numbers most relevant for local planning (not eustatic sea level change).
