Abstract
A comparison is made of the results for determinations of vertical crustal movements by means of two independent sources of data widely used in geodesy and geology: tide gauge sea level linear trends and gradients of radiocarbon curves. As a reference, the map of vertical crustal movements of Canada is added which was computed using not only tide gauge data but also geodetic levelling data. These results show similar trends computed by both techniques but an average value of 0.1 m/century greater for the sea level trends. The map of vertical crustal movements is in good agreement with the trends provided by the gradients of radiocarbon curves.
