1. My predictions about the changes in sea level have been relatively close to the actual rise of the sea waters, though it has been different than the general predictions of the numerous models of the countries. The predictions that I have made about the rise of the sea level have been based on the rate of melting of the polar ice, but also on the isostatic rebound that occurs because of it, and the influence that the greenhouse gasses have on the global temperature. The estimates that I made were showing a rise of only few centimeters, unlike the several meters predicted by most of the models. The closest model to what I have predicted is the Russian model, which is very different than the others.
2. The sea level variations are not very easy to predict, nor do they have any particular cycle that is repeating on approximately the same time. There are numerous factors that influence the variations of the sea level, such as the global temperature, with higher temperature meaning higher sea levels, and lower temperature meaning lower sea levels. The isostatic rebound of the continental land masses should also be taken in consideration, as the continents lift up when they don't have pressure on top of them from the ice, and sink down when they do have large ice masses on them, thus it can influence where the water can penetrate and where it can't. The position of the landmasses, composition of the atmosphere, as well as the geological activities, all have big influence on the variations of the sea levels, be it going up or down.

Answer:
Making territorial claims in Ukraine and the Arctic.
Explanation:
Under Putin, Russia has gradually been returning on track after being in a disastrous situation during the 1990s. Little by little over the past two decades, the country's economy has been rising, a lot of relations have been reestablished, new allies have been found, and the military has strengthened. This all has led Russia to return to its position as a powerful country and as an important player in global affairs.
With the country being in the best situation after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it has shown its territorial appetites in recent times and has not been paying much attention to the protests of the other, mostly Western, countries. A good example is the annexation of Crimea which was Ukrainian territory, but there is also a big chance that Russia will reach out for the eastern part of the country as well. The Arctic region has been a subject of claiming new territory, mostly from Norway, and again Russia has had no sympathy from the pretests by the less powerful country that they are robbing off of its territory. This may go even further in the future toward territories of Belarus and the Baltic states, as well as the Caucasus and Central Asia.
