Sea levels rose 20 centimetres over the course of the twentieth century, an average of only 2 millimetres per year. During the last decade, however, mean global sea levels have been rising at approximately 2.9 to 3.4 millimetres per year.

How much has sea level risen in 100 years?

Sea levels have risen by approximately 8 inches (20 cm) over the past century. This rise is primarily due to the melting of glaciers and ice caps, as well as the thermal expansion of seawater caused by global warming. Continued sea level rise is expected in the future due to ongoing climate change.


When will the sea level be expected to rise?

Sea levels are already rising. They rose 20 centimetres over the course of the twentieth century. During the last decade, however, mean global sea levels have been rising at approximately 2.9 to 3.4 millimetres per year. And they are now predicted to rise a further 90 to 150 centimetres over the course of the twenty-first century, depending in part on what efforts we make to reduce our greenhouse emissions.
