| Description: Climate change is currently causing sea levels to rise globally. How and why does sea level change over time? What is driving the current acceleration in sea level rise and what might happen in the future? How does earth structure and gravity impact regional sea level change? In this course we will discuss the science of how and why sea level changes, how sea level rise is impacting coastlines around the world, and what can be done to address it. This discussion-based seminar will cover peer-reviewed articles on sea level dynamics and interactive datasets. |
