Abstract

In this poster we present a near-global map of vertical land motion from 10870 globally distributed GPS stations, and a map of regional variability of sea level change. The combination of these two datasets allows us to identify cities of interest that have high rates of relative sea level change. In this poster we also show almost 150 large coastal cities across the world, characterizing their population sizes and rates of vertical land motion, allowing for easy identification of vulnerable cities.
