However, the mean sea level variations inferred from the remnants of the Roman era suggest that a similar high rate of increase may have occurred more than 2,000 years ago.
Not exact matches
As you are aware there are major local variations from the global pattern, with coastal land in some regions sinking faster than the average and in other regions being uplifted with respect to mean sea level.
The map of regional mean sea level trends provides an overview of variations in the rates of relative local mean sea level observed at long - term tide stations (based on a minimum of 30 years of data in order to account for long - term sea level variations and reduce errors in computing sea level trends based on monthly mean sea level).
The authors observe that wide variations in rates of tectonic uplift and subsidence in different locations around the world at particular times mean no effective coastal management plan can rest upon speculative computer projections regarding an idealised future global sea level, such as those provided by the United Nations» Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Figure 3: Monthly variations in global mean steric sea level computed by Willis 2008 (gray line) and Leuliette 2009 (black line).

Table 1 summarizes mean variation rates of temperature, sea level and GHG concentrations during (A) the last termination (19 — 10 kyr), (B) the Holocene (10 kyr to mid-19th century), (C) mid-19th century to mid-1970s, and (D) mid-1970s to 2005, based on ice core studies [2], IPCC - 2001 and IPCC - 2007 [3], NASA - GISS [4], CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research [5], UK Meteorological Office [6] datasets and science journals.
