Resumé

A number of natural processes interact to cause sea level changes. The sea level position is at every point of time and space determined by the volume and shape of the oceans, redistribution of water within the ocean basins and vertical movements of the coastal areas. These parameters are driven by internal Earth processes such as movement in the mantle and flexure or movement in the crust as well as by external processes like ice sheet growth and decay, sediment deposition in the oceans basins (infilling) and on a smaller scale also temperature changes of the ocean water. These
various processes act on different temporal and spatial scales, thus creating a complex pattern of local sea level changes.
