Impacts of Sea Level Rise There are two main reasons why sea levels are rising‚ firstly as air temperatures rise (due to climate change) the water in the oceans is warmed and expands. This process is called thermal expansion. The second reason being that as ice sheets and glaciers melt‚ they increase the amount of water in the oceans. Both of which are rather straightforward. Scientists have shown that in the past there have been periods of significant sea level change due to natural factors. However

This past summer‚ in a disconcerting new scientific study by the climate scientist Michiel Schaeffer and his fellow colleagues‚ had suggested that no matter how quickly we cut this pollution‚ we are unlikely to keep the seas from climbing; subsequently‚ what is worse is that rising seas can raise the launching pad for a storm surge. Accelerated rates of erosion are another cause that attributes to the sea level rise. For erosion causes large

Scientists have done studies on the population genetics of the green sea turtle. Through their DNA research‚ it was discovered that human impact has drastically reduced the genetic diversity within the green sea turtle population.
