Open-access.
I note that they say that the new calculations fit with tide gauge records
around the world, all sources of info on sea level now agree. I also note
that they report that average sea level rise around the world is now nearly
4 mm per year. Sea level rise is of course important for coral reefs.
Cheers, Doug
