Changes in sea level can
reveal much about our environment. But what if the
devices used to measure that level are being influenced
by such effects as crustal motion? To determine if this
is the case, we are using GPS data to compute vertical
velocities at tide gauge locations. Coupling this
information with height data should generate a more
accurate rate of sea level rise, particularly in areas
where rates differ significantly from the global average.
