One interesting aspect of sea level change is that it doesn't appear to be a universal rise. For instance, if you look at Alaska, you see that sea level has been dropping(top graph):

Yet further down the coast it is rising. On the global map:

The Scandinavian countries are seeing a large decrease yet just south it is increasing. Any idea on the reason for this? When you look at the average trends they look to be in the 0-3 ft/century range.
