- Abstract
Sea level change occurs on all timescales, depending on the type of change in question. It also occurs with a continuous range of spatial scales-local, regional, and global. To understand and be able to eventually predict sea level changes is a truly interdisciplinary endeavor. It requires geodetic and non-geodetic measurements of various types from space as well as in situ, while various numerical models for a number of meteorological and geophysical processes or properties are essential or relevant.
