Is the Mediterranean sea level rising again?

Sea-level data collected in a wider Mediterranean area since 1920s are analyzed with the aim of separating changing trends from decadal-scale and interannual variability. During the second half of the twentieth century the trends were close to zero in the West Mediterranean and the Adriatic, and they resembled the global trends in the Atlantic off Gibraltar and the Black Sea. There are some indications that over the last twenty or so years the rate of sea-level rise considerably increased in the Black Sea and thus surpassed the Atlantic rate, while it became similar to the Atlantic rate in the West Mediterranean and the Adriatic.
