Scientific paper

Global sea level rise will present a major scientific, environmental and socio-economic challenge during the 21st century. This paper reviews the main oceanographic and geophysical processes which contribute to sea level change, with particular emphasis on the ability of space gravity missions to contribute to an enhancement of our understanding of the various processes, and ultimately to a better understanding of sea level change itself. Of special importance is the need to understand better the ocean circulation, and the contribution of ocean thermal expansion to sea level change.
