1 Introduction Tide gauge measurements of coastal sea level represent some of the longest persistent oceanographic records, some of which exceed 100 years in length (e.g., at Charleston, SC; Hogarth (2014); Talke et al. (2018)). Individually, these records reveal disparate patterns of regional sea level change across a range of timescales (Thompson & Mitchum, 2014; Woodworth et al., 2019), but together, show global mean sea level to be rising at an increasing rate (Frederikse et al., 2020).

1 Introduction Understanding the causes and drivers of regional sea-level variability is important for a significant fraction of the global population living at the coast and experiencing rates of sea-level rise greater than the global mean (Nicholls et al., 2021). With this understanding, communities can strategically plan and better respond to current and future impacts within the context of regional climatic and geologic forcings (Nicholls, 2015).

1 Introduction Four sculptures greet visitors to City Dock in Annapolis, Maryland. Overlooking Annapolis Harbor, author Alex Haley reads from a book. Three children sit before him, listening with rapt attention. The memorial commemorates the arrival of Kunta Kinte, a character from Haley's 1976 novel Roots, and represents the author's vision for racial reconciliation and national healing. It is also a poignant illustration of climate change.
