Short summary
Short summary
About 90% of the excess heat in the Earth system is stored within the oceans leading to significant ocean warming and corresponding (volumetric) sea level change. We quantify global and regional ocean heat content change (OHC) by consistently combining space-geodetic altimetry, gravity and in situ temperature profile observations. Our results agree well with published estimates and highlight the benefit of consistently processing space-geodetic datasets for deriving high quality OHC estimates.

Short summary
Short summary
We developed a new way to evaluate how well remote sensing-based methods estimate water quality. Instead of relying on many separate indicators, which can give conflicting results, we created a single score that combines them into one objective measure. This approach makes it easier to compare methods across different conditions and helps researchers and managers choose the best tools for understanding and monitoring our aquatic environments.

Short summary
Shorelines retreat or advance in response to sea level changes, subsidence or uplift of the ground, and morphological processes (sedimentation and erosion). We show that the geometrical influence of each of these drivers on shoreline movements can be quantified by combining different remote sensing observations, including radar altimetry, lidar and optical satellite images. The focus here is to illustrate the uncertainties of these observations by comparing datasets that cover similar processes.
