Nils-Axel Mörner retired as head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University in 2005. He has worked with sea level problems for 40 years in areas all over the globe.

He was president of the INQUA Commission on Neotectonics (1981-1989) and president of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution (1999-2003). He headed the INTAS Project on Geomagnetism and Climate (1997-2003).

In 2000 he launched an international sea level research project in the Maldives.

He is a vigorous critic of the IPCC.

Publications

Mörner has published papers on: the interaction among isostacy and eustasy, the oscillating regional eustatic curve of NW Europe, the changing geoid concept, the redefinition of the concept of eustasy, the dynamic-rotational redistribution of oceanic water masses, the interchange of angular momentum between the hydrosphere and solid Earth, and finally the new sea level curve of the Maldives with an absence of signs of any on-going sea level rise.

He is the author, editor or co-editor of three books, and a recent booklet The Greatest Lie Ever Told which challenges claims of catastrophic sea level rise (2007, ISBN-978-91-977047-0-0).
