3A. Mean Sea Level Rise

Published on Pew Center on Global Climate Change (http://www.pewclimate.org)

One of the projected impacts of climate change is an increase in sea level. This figure shows the results of satellite measurements of the change in average global sea level over time. The slope of the graph suggests that the change in sea level is accelerating, which is expected as a result of global warming.
