    World sea level has risen by 0.27 centimeters in one year

    (ORDO NEWS) — This estimate comes from NASA experts who analyzed 30 years of satellite sea level data. The news is not pleasant. Since 1993, sea levels have risen by a total of 9.1 centimeters. Two years ago, he rose by 0.27 centimeters. This annual rise from 2021 to 2022 may not seem like much, but it is a harbinger. Even with small shifts caused by natural forces such as…

    Rapid sea level rise will accelerate coastal erosion tenfold

    (ORDO NEWS) — European and Australian geologists have found that the rapid rise in the level of the world‘s oceans will accelerate coastal erosion tenfold, which will affect the state of coastal infrastructure and the appearance of beaches and fjords. Scientists decided to find out how rising sea levels will affect the stability of coastlines around the planet. To do this, they studied changes in the state of coastal cliffs…

    Scientists underestimate global sea level rise

    (ORDO NEWS) — Existing climate models underestimate the accelerating melting of Greenland’s glaciers, which is raising global sea levels. The results of the study show that more ice will be lost by the end of the 21st century than scientists thought. The researchers analyzed data collected from the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) GPS network and combined with surface elevation data from the CryoSat-2 satellite, and performed high-resolution numerical simulations.…

    Global sea level will rise higher than previously predicted

    (ORDO NEWS) — The mean sea level could rise half a meter (1.6 feet) by 2050, two meters (6.6 feet) by 2100 and five meters (16.4 feet) by 2150 if emissions of gases that cause global warming will continue to increase over the course of a century, according to a new study on the impact of melting polar ice caps. This is much higher than UN experts have predicted so…
