Objectives of Work Package 2

WP2 - Absolute sea level variations
The absolute sea level variations workpackage will develop the
appropriate processing and analysis strategy for the use of continuous
GPS (CGPS) at sites close to tide gauges in order to obtain reliable
estimates of vertical land movements, and to assess their contribution
to changes in relative sea level. Observations from all CGPS stations
co-located with ESEAS Observing Sites will be processed and analysed.
These Application A sites cover several areas of Europe with types of
coasts being affected by different physical processes (e.g. tectonic
activity, post-glacial rebound, sedimentary compaction, anthropogenic
effects).
