Sea Level and Liverpool (Part 2): Historical Perspective

This video forms part of the series "Sea Level: A Liverpool View". Beginning with the work of William Hutchinson, who measured the time and height of every high tide at the Old Dock in 18th Century Liverpool, the video illustrates how sea level measurement has developed to use a worldwide network of tide gauges and satellites, and considers the possibilities of longer term sea level rise signals from climate change. Parts 1 and 3 of the series investigate the personal perspective and a possible future view of sea level change respectively.
This video was made by oceanographers and colleagues at the University of Liverpool and the National Oceanography Centre.
Oceanographic research at Liverpool and surrounding area dates back to the year 1640. In 2020, Liverpool celebrates 100 years of teaching Ocean Sciences. Interested in joining us?
