    Sea-level science : understanding tides, surges, tsunamis and mean sea-level changes (2014)
    Cambridge : Cambridge Univ. Press
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Sea level History ; Ocean History ; Wasserstand
    Description / Table of Contents: "Understanding Tides, Surges, Tsunamis and Mean Sea-Level Changes Sea levels change for many reasons and on many timescales, and extreme sea levels can result in catastrophic coastal flooding, such as the Katrina storm surge in 2005 or the Sumatra tsunami in 2004. As global sea level rises, and coastal populations increase, understanding sea-level processes becomes key to plan future coastal defence effectively"--

    A comparison of late Holocene and twentieth-century sea-level trends from the UK and North Sea region (1992)

    Notes: A comparison has been made of secular trends in sea-level from the twentieth century and late Holocene period, determined from tide gauge and geological data respectively, for 18 sites from the UK and North Sea region. In the main the two data sets of trends are well correlated with a small number of possible exceptions, although even these are consistent with the general correlation within the errors. The tide gauge trends are systematically larger than the long-term sea-level trends inferred from geological data by approximately 1.0 ± 0.15 mm yr-1 (statistical error only) which can be interpreted as an estimate of the regional eustatic rate of sea-level change for the twentieth century. There is no evidence in the region for an acceleration of sea-level trends in recent decades, and this rate can consequently be inferred to be the current eustatic trend.

    Secular trends in mean tidal range around the British Isles and along the adjacent European coastline (1991)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Geophysical journal international 104 (1991), S. 0

    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Time series of annual Mean Tidal Range (MTR) have been assembled from 13 ports around the British Isles and secular trends in MTR computed at each site. Trends vary between – 1.8 and 1.3 mm yr-1 depending on location. At many sites the values are significantly non-zero implying different trends in Mean High Waters (MHWs) and Mean Low Waters (MLWs). Such tidal behaviour has also been observed previously at stations along the adjacent European coastline, but is not well understood. At several places, the trends are sufficiently large that they should be taken into account in investigations of impacts of sea level change and in extreme level engineering studies. They also suggest that, in general, time series of MWH should not be used as proxies for series of Mean Sea Level (MSL). For most of the British Isles data, MTR secular trend is larger (more positive) for larger trend in local MSL, or water depth. Lerwick and Newlyn hourly heights have been used to show that the observed MTR trends at most locations must be due primarly to changes in the dominant M2 tidal constituent. A comparison is given of the British Isles findings to those from neighbouring countries; British, Irish, French, Belgian and perhaps southern Dutch MTR trends are found to be considerably less than those reported from the northern Netherlands and the German Bight.
