the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory. The PSMSL was
established in 1933, and is the global data bank for long term
sea level change information from tide gauges.

International Scientific Congress on Climate Change in
Copenhagen presented research that the upper range of sea
level rise by 2100 could be in the range of about one meter, or
possibly more. In the lower end of the spectrum it looks
increasingly unlikely that sea level rise will be much less than 50
cm by 2100. March 2009.
