Global Research

Recently, interest in the relationship between climate and sea level change has grown with the realization that human-induced global warming may accelerate the rate of sea-level rise. Since 50% of the global population currently occupies coastal zones, the socio-economic and environmental effects of global sea-level rise are far reaching.
