Sea Levels Rise

15/10/2016

0 Comments

 
The two major causes of global sea-level rise are known to be the thermal expansion caused by warming of the oceans, and the melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets.
Scientific studies are being carried out in Antarctica and in Greenland, which will enable predictions on loss of ice, and rate of loss  over the coming decade, to be made.

Satellites are increasingly important in providing details of ice melting in different parts of the world. By comparing these data with existing data over time, scientists are able to give more accurate estimations of the dangers to affected areas.  NASA carries out much research on ice melting.
​Another body which carries out scientific research in this area is Climate Central - also giving a list of affected countries. 
The IPCC (Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change) website contains some information on its current activities, and could certainly be worth a visit.
The British Geological Survey answers many questions that might be raised concerning climate change - more information may be found on their website.
