Impact of Short-Wavelength Sea-Level Oscillations on Coastal Biological Zoning: Evidence from Nisyros Island (Aegean Sea), and Implications for the Use of the Biological Mean Sea Level as a Geodetic Datum

An analysis of tide-gauge and atmospheric data reveals that a transient, unusual sea-level drop occurred in mid-April 1997 along coasts of the Nisyros island volcano, SE Aegean Sea. This event had an amplitude several times larger than the average tidal range (∼6 cm) and caused a transient shift of...
