Sea level rise is a generally accepted fact in the scientific community. And insights gained by analyzing satellite observations now show  that the sea level is rising even faster than expected. At a Symposium marking «25 years of progress in Satellite Altimetry» in Ponta Delgada on the Island of Sao Miguel in the Azores, expert scientists exchanged and discussed on the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry.

This A&B Roll shows latest animations on sea level rise, images of Sao Miguel in the Azores.

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