Sea level rise is one of the key impacts of climate change. Whereas most of the existing literature has focussed on the impact of future sea level rise due to thermal expansion of ocean water and ice melt, the current project will focus on past sea level rise due to tectonic movements and subsidence. The project will apply econometric methods to estimate the effects of local sea level on a range of economic indicators such as income, investment, migration and taxation. The regional focus and historical period will depend on data availability and the candidate's interest but could include the recent past of the USA, the deep past of the UK, or contemporary Bangkok.
