Meeresspiegelshöhe
Meeresspiegelshöhe refers to the average height of the Earth's oceans relative to a reference point, often sea level. This measurement is crucial for understanding global climate patterns, coastal erosion, and the impact of rising sea levels due to climate change. Historically, sea level has fluctuated due to factors like glacial melt and geological shifts.
Modern measurements of Meeresspiegelshöhe are taken using tide gauges located along coastlines and, more recently, satellite
Changes in Meeresspiegelshöhe have significant consequences. Coastal communities face increased risks of flooding, saltwater intrusion into
