Tide heights near ice shelves can be measured using
traditional coastal tide gauges and bottom pressure recorders, while currents can be measured with meters on moorings in the open ocean or deployed through boreholes drilled through ice shelves, which are the floating portions of ice sheets.
Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike are noticing rapidly rising sea levels, and higher and higher
tides pushing more water directly into the places we live, from our most vibrant, historic cities to our last remaining
traditional coastal villages.
