When the sea goes up
Climatic warming dilates the oceans and melts the continental glacial skull caps. Result, filled by heat and fed with fresh water, the sea goes up, by three millimetres a year since 1993, according to the observations of satellites Topex-Poseidon and Jason-1, which were joined some days ago by Jason-2, a cooperation between the United States, the national Centre of space studies (France) and the European Eumetsat organisation. In Science and July life, you will discover that the increase in the level of the oceans could attain three metres before the end of this century.
For occasion, Science and Life offers you to visit littoraux and estuaries of the planet, and to take you for a walk by adjusting increase (in metres) of the level of the oceans.
