Just came across this under-reported gem from Geoscience Australia, I note their disclaimer – “…the length of the time series is too short for reliable vertical station velocity estimation….”
As the years roll on these data should become more reliable guides as to the changes in tide gauge heights. But what they show so far is worth reporting.
Cook Islands – steady
Fiji – steady
Kiribati – down
Manus Islands (PNG) – down
Micronesia – down
Nauru – down
Samoa – steady
Tonga – up
Tuvalu – steady
Vanuatu – down
Marshall Islands – data too short
The CCC suggested to ABC reporters when pushed,that sea levels will sink the pacific Islands some time soon. Especially considering West Antarctic is heating 3 times faster than elsewhere!
Fascinating story quoting sinking of up to 10cm per year due to overpumping groundwater.
“Jakarta sinking as water supplies dry up”That seawall they are planning better be well done.
