Main Article Content
Abstract
Approximately 70% of our planet is occupied by water, which for the most part, forms our oceans. In addition to enchanting us with its beauty, the sea, with its strictly regular vertical movement driven by gravitational forces, has been suffering increasingly intense disturbances, causing its elevation due to several factors, mainly environmental and climatic. An integral part of one of the sustainable development objectives (ODS 13 - Action against Global Climate Change), a global agenda adopted during the United Nations Summit, consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030, the mean sea level rise has been a concern for governments, non-governmental and researchers for some time, especially when the future scenarios are not encouraging at all. These risks are even more accentuated when we refer to coastal regions, as the consequences are felt in a much more direct and accentuated way, such as erosion of beaches, coastal flooding, and loss of ecosystems, among others. Creating negative impacts both from a socioeconomic and environmental point of view. To contribute to research related to the topic, through bibliometric techniques, the referring study analyzed 35 articles between the years 2009 and 2021 extracted from the Scopus database with the application of mathematical and statistical methods as a way of quantitatively evaluating these researches, among them: historical and geographic trends, main journals and institutions, keyword characteristics and citation network analysis. The objective is to have an overview of how the theme "mean sea level" has been studied over time and its relationship with its disturbing factors, such as land subsidence and climatic factors, which techniques are being used and which are the main discoveries.
