It identifies what is known in each area and what research and observations are required to reduce the uncertainties in our understanding of sea-level rise so that more reliable future projections can be made. A synthesis of findings provides a concise summary of past, present and future sea-level rise and its imp 606 $aSea level 606 $aOceanography 615 0$aSea level. 615 0$aOceanography. 676 $a551.45/8 701 $aChurch$b John$f1951-$01761064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910876603103321 996 $aUnderstanding sea-level rise and variability$94200257 997 $aUNINA
