New Satellite Research Supports IPCC Report: Global Sea Level Rise is Accelerating

摘要

As a result of global warming, the ocean has risen by an average of around three millimeters a year since the early 1990s. But how much they have risen year on year has been a matter of some debate among experts, for instance in the UN's climate panel IPCC. Is the rise constant, or is it accelerating every year?In a new study, a Danish student has shown that the rise is accelerating. In other words, the ocean is rising faster every year. The new research supports previous studies and has been published in the scientific journal Advances in Space Research.The calculations were done by Tadea Veng, who studies Earth and Space Physics and Engineering at DTU Space under the supervision of Professor Ole Baltazar Andersen.
