Record sea level rise on the US coast

In recent years, sea levels have risen particularly fast in the Gulf of Mexico and the western and north Atlantic regions of the United States. According to a study in the journal Nature Communications, sea levels there have risen by more than one centimeter per year since 2010. These are record levels and three times as fast as the global average. According to the IPCC, sea levels rose by an average of 20 centimeters worldwide from 1901 to 2018.
