Definition of Sea Level Rise:
The so-called greenhouse effect or global warming may cause a Sea Level Rise, which will have a great impact on the long-term coastal morphology. The possible and gradual Sea Level Rise will cause a general shoreline retreat and an increased flooding risk and has to be handled according to the local conditions[1].
This is the common definition for Sea Level Rise, other definitions can be discussed in the article
