Since the satellite recording of ocean height began in 1993, the rate of annual sea level rise has more than doubled. View on euronews

Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion. According to a NASA-led analysis, last year's rate of rise was 0.23 inches (0.

Earth’s oceans rose faster than expected last year as the world experienced its hottest year on record, NASA says.

NASA data shows global sea levels are rising faster than expected. Most of the rise in 2024 came from ocean warming, not melting ice.

Global sea levels rose 0.23 inches (0.59 centimeters) in 2024, surpassing the expected 0.17 inches, according to NASA. A NASA-led analysis published Thursday found that thermal expansion, the process of ocean water expanding as it warms, played a big role in the “unexpected” rise.

Sea levels surged in 2024, rising faster than expected due to warming oceans. Unlike previous years, where melting ice dominated, thermal expansion drove most of the increase. NASA's satellite records show sea levels climbing steadily since 1993,

Sea levels have risen more than anticipated in 2024, the hottest year on record, according to NASA. The increase is attributed to unusually high ocean temperatures and the melting of glaciers. This rise is a consequence of climate change driven by human activity,

Global sea levels rose more than expected in 2024, Earth's hottest year on record, according to an analysis released Thursday by the US space agency NASA.

Global sea levels rose by an unexpected amount in 2024, which was officially recorded as the hottest year on Earth since temperature monitoring began. According to a NASA analysis, the rise was primarily driven by unusual ocean warming and glacial meltwater,

Oceans last year reached their highest levels in three decades - with the rate of global sea level rise increasing around 35 percent higher than expected, according to a NASA-led analysis published Thursday.
