Graphic Blue Carbon-The R... Sea level anomalies

Sea level anomalies

Melting and warming will have consequences on ocean circulation. Additionally melting of inland glaciers and continental ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica, and the thermal expansion of ocean waters are causing sea level rise.
