Scientists accurately measure global sea level increases in three ways. Since 1992, NASA has collected data from satellites. Here's a link to the data. NASA also uses tide gauges in many parts of the world to get a global average. The gauges block out the impact of waves and tides to get an accurate reading. The third method is reviewing rock formations. Scientists use this method to determine the sea level millions of years ago.
