Sea-level science : understanding tides, surges, tsunamis and mean sea-level changes / David Pugh and Philip Woodworth, National Oceanography Centre and University of Liverpool, UK.
"Understanding Tides, Surges, Tsunamis and Mean Sea-Level Changes Sea levels change for many reasons and on many timescales, and extreme sea levels can result in catastrophic coastal flooding, such as the Katrina storm surge in 2005 or the Sumatra tsunami in 2004. As global sea level rises, and...
