The thermal expansion of ocean depths (above 2000 metres) could contribute more to global sea level rise than previously believed (0.4 mm/year). This is what emerges from a study recently published on Earth’s Futurewhich analyzes the behavior of the oceans at depths that oceanographic buoys cannot reach. This study could solve a long-standing mystery 2016the year from which scientists are ...
