TL;DR: The SELF project as mentioned in this paper was developed and realized in the framework of the Environment Programme designed by the Commission of the European Communities to provide a reliable base for the determination, in the Mediterranean area, of sea-level variations which could then be used as a possible indicator of climate changes and to study the interactions taking place among the ocean, the atmosphere: and the solid Earth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the International Association for Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Sea Grant Program through the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined solution for the European Union SEa Level Fluctuations (SELF) I and the SELF II Projects designed to study sea level variations around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, the Global Positioning System (GPS) technique was adopted to measure the ongoing crustal movements at tide gauge stations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose the formation of a strategic European network for sea level and coastal land level monitoring, which will complement the sparser global monitoring system and provide a European network infrastructure with common standards.

TL;DR: The WEGENER group has promoted the development of scientific space-geodetic activities in the Mediterranean and in the European area for the last fifteen years and has contributed to the establishment of geodetic networks designed particularly for earth science research.
