"Sea
Surface and Sea Level" - Atmospheric Radiation and Measurement
Program - DOE
Online article reviews terms commonly used to describe sea level
change, the causes of long- and short-term sea level change, how
sea level change is tied to global warming, how weather impacts
sea level, and more.
"Ice
Sheets and Glaciers" - NASA - Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Introduces ice sheet and glacier formation, their importance in
regards to influencing and monitoring global climate, their influence
on atmospheric and oceanic circulation, how glaciers move, and
their impact on sea level change. Also looks at the technology
that scientists use to study glaciers.
"Sea
Level Change and Climate" - USGS Fact Sheet 002-00
This fact sheet looks at how glacial-interglacial cycles impact
sea level and how a melting of today's glaciers could cause sea
level to rise.
The Contribution of the Cryosphere to Changes in Sea Level - National Snow
and Ice Data Center
Reviews influence of glaciers on sea level. Includes a graph which
shows how glaciers have contributed to sea level changes over
the past 40 years.
