The rise of sea level is much faster than earlier believed in the Antarctic coast, according to Craig Rye, a weather expert from the University of Southampton, and experts from British Antarctic Survey, Scottish Association for Marine Science and National Oceanography Center.

These experts have said that a rise in sea levels has gotten to 2 mm as a result of melting ice glaciers.

The research, which has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience, details the fact that it was conducted through computer simulations and satellite scans.

Approximately 350 gigatons of freshwater has been added to the sea as a result of melting ice shelves in the Antarctic. This has actually led to a reduction in the salinity of ocean water, according to the study.

The sea is taking freshwater from the floating ice sheets and melting ice glaciers, and the increase in flow of water is diluting the salinity of the sea.

The researchers have confirmed through model simulations that the rise in Antarctic sea level is at a rate faster than earlier thought.

According to the researchers, the rise in sea levels may have effects on atmospheric conditions and global weather and it also determines global warming among other things.

There is hardly anything anybody can do about melting of ice glaciers or weather in the Antarctic to contribute to rising water levels.

It is considered a natural process that occurs in all the seasons, however scientists expect that its impact on humans would not be threatening or dramatic in any way.
