A Spatially Variable Time Series of Sea Level Change Due to Artificial Water Impoundment

Abstract The artificial impoundment of water behind dams causes global mean sea level (GMSL) to fall as reservoirs fill but also generates a local rise in sea level due to the increased mass in the reservoir and the crustal deformation this mass induces. To estimate spatiotemporal fluctuations in se...
