Key Equations

$$\frac{d\eta_{\text{GMSL}}}{dt} = \underbrace{\frac{\alpha \Delta Q}{\rho c_p}}_{\text{thermal}} + \underbrace{\frac{\Delta M_{\text{ice}}}{\rho_w A_o}}_{\text{barystatic}} + \underbrace{\Delta\eta_{\text{GIA}}}_{\text{GIA}} + \underbrace{\Delta\eta_{\text{TWS}}}_{\text{land water}}$$
$$\text{Altimetric SLR rate} \approx 3.6 \pm 0.3 \text{ mm/yr (2006-2023)}$$
$$\Delta\eta(\theta,\phi) = \sum_i S_i(\theta,\phi) \cdot \dot{M}_i$$
$$\eta_{\text{relative}} = \eta_{\text{absolute}} - \dot{u}_{\text{land}} \cdot \Delta t$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
