Satellite Data Suggests Sea Level Rise Shifted Into a Faster Gear Around 2012
Key Takeaways
- Researchers reported a jump in average sea level rise from about 2.9 mm/year before 2012 to 4.1 mm/year afterward.
- The shift may reflect several drivers, including faster ice loss, warmer oceans, and changes in water stored on land.
- The analysis also raises the possibility that lower aerosol pollution has exposed more underlying warming.
