<p>The low-standing Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta is extremely sensitive to sea level variations induced by tropical cyclones, monsoons and, on the long term, by absolute sea level changes. Moreover, the region is subject to land subsidence, due to groundwater extraction and sediment deposition, which increases vulnerability of coastal populations. Understanding of sea level variability due to the climate change, geological processes, and human activity, is essential for anticipating consequences of extreme events in the nearest future and implementing adequate adaptation strategies. This study analyzes impact of the sea level rise in the Bay of Bengal on the sea level extreme levels and its consequences for extension and frequency of delta flooding. We analyze sea level variations from tide gauges along the coast from 1970 to 2020. By employing advanced statistical methods, our study focuses on interactions between sea level variations (from seasonal to interannual changes) and storm surges generated by tropical cyclones in this specific region. While the analysis is performed over the whole Bay of Bengal coast, a particular attention is given to the low-lying Bangladesh's coastal area.</p>

A mathematical model describing the change in the Black Sea level depending on the Aegean Sea level changes is presented in the article. Calculations have shown that the level of the Black Sea has been repeating the course of the Aegean Sea level for the last at least 6,000 years. And the level of the Black Sea above the Aegean Sea level in the tens of centimeters for this period of time.
