  "term": "Relative Sea Level Rise",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definitions": [
    "1. The increase in ocean water levels at a specific location, taking into account both global sea level rise and local factors, such as local subsidence and uplift. Relative sea level rise is measured with respect to a specified vertical datum relative to the land, which may also be changing elevation over time.\n\n2. Occurs where there is a local increase in the level of the ocean relative to the land, which might be due to ocean rise or land subsidence.\n\n3. Rise in sea level measured with respect to a specified vertical datum relative to the land, which may also be changing elevation over time; typically measured using a tide gauge; compare with global sea-level rise. .",
