Global sea level has remained close to stationary during the past few thousand years prior to the industrial revolution
A global acceleration of sea level started in the late 19th or early 20th century, reaching ~3 mm/yr during the satellite era (since 1993)
Along the central US Gulf Coast, sea level has risen 4 to 5 times faster in the 20th century compared to the pre-industrial millennium
Sea level will very likely continue to accelerate in the next century; yet by which amount remains uncertain
The future of the US Gulf Coast depends in large part on the stability of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets
