Sea Level and Ocean Circulation<\/p>\n

Changes in sea level cause coastal flooding, loss of wetlands, and erosion of sandy beaches. Changes in ocean currents affect hurricane activity, rainfall patterns, and temperatures on land. We address basic and applied questions about sea level and ocean circulation in a changing climate.<\/p>\n
