Thermal expansion! https://www.livescience.com/8621-warming-deep-southern-ocean-linked-sea-level-rise.htmlI wonder what contributes to the other 1.8mm.
Sea level has been rising at around one-eighth of an inch (3 millimeters) per year on average since 1993, with about half of that caused by the ocean expanding as it's heated, and the other half due to additional water added to the ocean, mostly from melting continental ice.
