Water depth is an instantaneous, location specific measurement of the distance between the water surface and the sediment surface. Eustatic sea level is the distance between the center of the Earth and the sea surface. Relative sea level is the distance between a local datum and the sea surface; it is a function of tectonism and eustasy and can be tracked through time.

In this chapter we will discuss some observations from the past 100 years and data from regions that are particularly sensitive to climate change, where the most dramatic effects have occurred.
