Summary
Global mean sea level rise (GMSLR) is one consequence of global warming. We develop simple, deterministic, and concise models for GMSLR. We consider just two factors, ocean thermal expansion and glacier melt. The resulting calculus-based models give values within the margin of error of official estimates of these two major components of GMSLR.
