"A new study explains the causes of global sea level rise over the past six decades. Warming oceans account for 43% of the rise, while melting ice sheets and glaciers contribute significantly. The rate of sea level rise has accelerated from 2.06 mm/year (1960) to 3.94 mm/year (2005-2023)."
Author: Orrin H. Pilkey and Rob Young
This book provides a comprehensive look at the physical and geological processes driving sea-level rise, offering a clear explanation of how melting ice sheets and thermal expansion interact to reshape our coastlines.
