Sea level is now rising faster than expected : this is the conclusion of observations made from Space and analysed by the scientific community.

In a Symposium marking « 25 years of progress in Satellite Altimetry » World-class scientists just met in Ponta Delgado in the Island of Sao Miguel in the Azores.

They exchanged on the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry and all figures converge: sea level rise is confirmed and it has even accelarated in the last five years mainly because of global warming.

 

This A Roll shows latest animation on sea level rise and images of Sao Miguel Island in the Azores.

It includes interviews with Altimetry experts in English, French, Italian and German.
