"Sea levels change for many reasons and on many timescales, and extreme sea levels
can result in catastrophic coastal flooding, such as the Katrina storm surge in 2005
or the Sumatra tsunami in 2004. As global sea level rises, and coastal populations
increase, understanding sea-level processes becomes key to plan future coastal defence
effectively"
