The US States of Sea Level Change

Van Gogh Be Knowin'

The tide gauge station data repositories (e.g. PSMSL) do not distinguish global sea level in terms of detailed latitude and longitude of US states, but they do distinguish tide gauge stations by country.

So, I volunteered myself to do just that.

This series begins with the State Sea Level Change appendix which features most states that have coastlines of the USA, with a few states yet to be included in a future post.

One thing readers might be interested in is that the per-state span of sea level change in most cases is over a foot (I heard a candidate for US president dribbling about what is the big deal of a silly "millimeter of sea level rise over 400 years").

We will get into discussing a surprising fact that the US coastline will be impacted by future sea level rise more than most other countries will be (Beneath Thwaites Glacier).

Stay tuned (Build Your Own Sea Level Change Fingerprinting System, 2, 3).

Dr. Mitrovica video:

08:00 The use of global mean average has led us astray for 100 years.
15:20 Taking the average assumes the imaginary bathtub model.
16:30 It is completely wrong.
21:00 100m of SLF @ Greenland's coast when all ice sheet is gone.
26:40 The Dutch government did not understand the scenario.
28:40 When the ice sheet melts, all the water is distributed in 2 weeks.
29:30 It is error to say that SLF is due only to the land rising.
