‘Unexpected’ rate of sea level rise in 2024: NASA
Al JazeeraEarth’s oceans rose faster than expected last year as the world experienced its hottest year on record, NASA says. Sea levels rose faster than expected around the world in 2024 – the Earth’s hottest year on record, according to new findings from the United States’ NASA space agency, which attributed the rise to warming oceans and melting glaciers. Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA, said the rise in the world’s oceans last year was “higher than expected”, and while changes take place each year, what has become clear is that the “rate of rise is getting faster and faster”. According to the NASA-led study of the information sourced via the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, the rate of sea level rise last year was 0.59cm per year – higher than an initial expected estimate of 0.43cm per year. NASA said trends from recent years showed additional water from land due to melting ice sheets and glaciers to be the biggest contributor, accounting for two-thirds of sea level rise.
