Abstract

Abstract

Using global positioning system (GPS) and tide gauge (TG) data surround the South China Sea during the period 1989 to 2014, the characteristics of relative sea level change and the effects of the 2004 Sumatra earthquake is analyzed. The research shows that relative sea level is rising surrounding the South China Sea with the rate (4.53±0.20) mm/a which is higher than globally averaged sea level rise, and this trend has been intensified after 2004. Surrounding the South China Sea there are six categories of relative sea-level changes, each has its own style. Corresponding with the plate tectonics, four regions with typical characteristics in sea-level rising have formed:southeast coast of China and Vietnam coast, the Malay Peninsula, the northern part of Kalimantan Island and the Philippine Islands. The earthquake stopped the crustal arise and made Malay Peninsula, Nansha and Xisha in China sink violently, accelerating the rate of relative sea level rising,but has little impact on Chinese southeastern coast and the Philippines, the impact on the northern region of Kalimantan Island and Vietnam coast need follow-up study.
