Interesting Sea Level Rise Study Results

The link took me to a newspaper page and no specific article

Did a site search for seal level study and found a three links to articles from October 2014 thru today

Maybe all of our missing groundwater has found its way to NJ.

I am surprised that a study that runs approx. 1/10th of the diurnal cycle could say anything about sea level, especially when: "The one bit of good news is..."It goes up, but it does come down," he said."

Shoot, we call that tides around here! I could say that Cape Cod Bay Sea Level rises 10' TWICE A DAY! but it comes and goes! LOL

Sounds interesting. I would expect that if this local rise is true that it could compound itself by causing subsidence which would cause more local sea level rise.

Not interested in making this political, but from a geoscience perspective I've seen the NOAA study from a few years ago quantitying sea level rise. The error estimates were as large as the rise. This doesn't mean it isn't real, but would suggest the certainty isn't as high as is often presented.

I have tried to compare CORS velocities with nearby tide gauges and some of them fall to the rate of about 6-8" per century. Other results have varied. I know the tide gauges around here and none are being monitored for subsidence. Heck, some do not even have valid geodetic benchmarks.

The Museum of Natural History down the road from Foggy Idea has a great map showing sea level rise since the last ice age. Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard were not islands when sea level was ~100' lower ~10,000 years ago. Huh, that translates to an average of one-foot a century and Nantucket's tide gauge is reporting an average of 13" a century since the 1960's. Wood's Hole is somewhere around 10-11" a century since well before 1960... Not accounting for subsidence.

If that's true, that's a real problem.

I believe there are some shared OPUS solutions on some of the stations, but I also recall that those were completed before the CORS were installed nearby. Bad geometry and the closest station was ~50-60 miles from this site with no CORS to the East or South...
