Sea levels around Africa are rising faster than the global average: What's behind this alarming trend https://phys.org/news/2026-03-sea-africa-faster-global-average.html
For over three decades, satellites orbiting Earth have measured the height of the ocean surface with remarkable precision. These measurements are crucial because changes in ocean height are one of the clearest indicators of how our planet is responding to climate change. Rising ocean surfaces signal warming temperatures, melting ice, and shifting ocean currents.
Sea levels around Africa are rising faster than the global average: What's behind this alarming trend
The western #IndianOcean and the tropical #Atlantic were already abnormally warm in 2023β2024, with sea surface temperatures well above their long-term averages. This created a higher baseline from which #ElNiΓ±o could push up temperatures, and therefore sea levels.
Unusual wind patterns suppressed the normal process of upwelling. This is when winds push surface water aside, allowing colder, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to rise to the surface. The result was that heat was trapped at the surface instead of being mixed downward and replaced by cooler water. The #ocean layers did not mix well.
The result was striking. Thermal expansion alone (warmer water) accounted for over 70% of the exceptional #SeaLevelRise during this event, reaching nearly 30mm across the #Africa'n marine domain. Ocean heat content

compared to the 2015β2016 El NiΓ±o.

Cracks appear in Runit Dome amid sea level rise in Marshall Islands
"
"But 50 years on, the dome is showing signs of deterioration.
Cracks line its outer shell, while groundwater flows beneath the structure, allowing contaminated waste to wash into the surrounding lagoon."

Models warn Thwaites Glacier could rival entire Antarctic ice loss by 2067
The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic #glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using satellite calibrated ice sheet models, a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh found that the #ThwaitesGlacier in West #Antarctica could be shedding 180β200 gigatonnes of ice per year by 2067βa rate roughly comparable to the entire Antarctic ice sheet's current mass loss. That would represent a stunning acceleration in ice loss from a single glacier and underlines urgent concerns about future contributions to #SeaLevelRise.
