This figure was derived from webpage Map of Sea Level Trends using the activity nca3-sea-level-rise-1993-2012-activity-1. (The figure displays a colored map quantitatively representing the sea-level rise for the period 1993-2012.)
This figure was derived from Estimating Mean Sea Level Change from the TOPEX and Jason Altimeter Missions using the activity nca3-sea-level-rise-1993-2012-activity-2. (The University of Colorado, while it has been maintaining the datasets about sea level trends for several years, does not have the mandate for their long-term archival.)
