Abstract: Glacial unloading of the crust, subduction, volcanoes, faults and folds, compaction of deltas, pumping of fluids and hydrostatic weighting cause changes in land levels that mask changes by modern eustatic rise of sea level as shown by tide-gauge records. Essentially the study of the “noise” in the measurement of sea-level changes by tide gauges provides information about neotectonics of the Earth's crust.
