The Human Impacts Database

A collection of useful numbers for quantifying the impacts of the human presence on Earth.

This quantity is a single measurement of the quantity at a given point in time (1993 — 2018).


Value:		{1.19 (-0.20, +0.25)} × 10^-3 m / yr see this value in other units This is equivalent to... 1.19 (-0.20, +0.25) mm / yr
HuID:		97688
Relevant Year(s):		1993 — 2018
Summary:		The annual rise in global sea level due to thermal expansion of water based on modeling. This considers only the time range of 2013 - 2018.
Method:		This Includes only sea level rise due to thermal expansion of water and does not include influence due to terrestrial water storage such as reservoirs. See Table 1 of the source for more information, uncertainty represents a 90% confidence interval.
