Sea level around Australia: fingerprints of melting ice sheets

该项目旨在获取澳大利亚海岸线附近海平面变化的区域信息。该项目计划使用一种新技术，将潮汐计和海平面卫星观测与极地冰盖融化、海洋热膨胀和大陆与海洋之间的水交换的空间变化贡献信息结合起来。它还计划创建新的软件，使这些来源的贡献能够随时间变化进行估计，由此可以在任何地点重建过去一个世纪的海平面变化，包括在没有进行局部观测的地方。这将为澳大利亚社区提供有关其所在地区海平面变化的最佳信息。

The project aims to derive regional information on sea-level changes around the Australian coastline. The project plans to use a new technique to combine tide gauge and satellite observations of sea level with information on the spatially varying contributions of melting polar ice sheets, thermal expansion of the oceans and exchanges of water between continents and oceans. It also plans to create new software to enable time-varying estimates of the contributions of these sources, from which the changes in sea level over the past century can be reconstructed at any location, including in places where no local observations have been made. This would provide Australian communities with the best possible information regarding sea-level changes in their own region.
