Module Summary and Final Tasks

End of Module Recap:

In this module, you should have mastered the following concepts:

the factors contributing to sea level rise;
the techniques for measuring the rates of change in different places, and the result that rates of change are by no means uniform on a global basis;
relative versus absolute sea level change;
evidence for major changes in sea level in the past;
impacts of sea level change in low-lying coastal areas including the North Carolina Barrier Islands, the Mississippi Delta, The Netherlands, Venice, and Pacific island nations, strategies to mitigate these impacts;
prediction of future sea level change is extremely difficult, making it even more challenging to develop a strategy to deal with this serious threat to coastal communities in coming decades.
