Sea-Level Change: about this Topic Global sea level has always fluctuated depending on the climate. When the climate cools, more ice accumulates at the Earth's poles and sea level drops. When that ice melts, sea level rises. These changes are identifiable in the rock record and ice layers. CMG research aims to understand this cycle and its effects on the marine and coastal environments. Other related USGS websites: Global Change Research Program
