Accurate forecasts of future regional sea-level changes are required for coastal impact and adaptation assessment, and this session aims to address recent results in regional and coastal ocean science. We encourage a wide range of submissions spanning oceanography, geophysics, and geodesy related to regional sea level rise. As noted in the description below, the submissions applying a variety of geodetic and oceanographic techniques are welcome, including altimetry, tide gauges, hydrography, GPS/GNSS, tide gauges, satellite gravity, glacial isostatic adjument, as well as model studies and combined analysis.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px;

Understanding this variability is essential for giving relevant advice regarding future sea level rise to society. Recent developments have led to a better understanding of the sources of regional sea level change. Examples include advances in retrieving altimetry data near coasts, simultaneous analysis of GNSS and tide gauge data to reduce the range of rates observed along the coasts, and the impact of circulation on tide gauge records. This session solicits a wide range of studies that examine the regional variability of sea level, including ocean modeling and combined analysis of in situ and geodetic data sets.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
