Sea Level Change

The focus of my research relates to 20th C sea level rise, notably a global GPS reprocessing campaign to provide improved constraints on vertical rate of motion at tide gauges. We are also investigating present-day contributors to sea level change from the polar ice sheets plus a study into secular geocenter motion which relates to mass transfer into the oceans.
