Curve Fitting to Find Equations That Describe Sea Level Rise

Submitted : Spring 2019


Since the industrial revolution mankind has had a significant effect on the climate of the planet. Through emission of greenhouse gasses, we have raised the temperature of the Earth at rates which would not have occurred naturally. This warming has had further ramifications than just the temperature though, the warmth has caused massive amount of ice around the world to melt which has significantly raised the level of the sea.

 I have taken the sea level data collected and reported by NASA since 1993 to and used curve fitting to find equations which describe the level of the sea over time.
