Mark Kaufman reports at Mashable:
A new NASA analysis, using data collected from different specialized satellites, reports that sea levels rose more than expected in 2024. But as any earth scientist will emphasize, the data in any particular year isn't nearly as important as the long-term trend. And the agency's analysis shows that global sea levels have gone up over 10 centimeters, or about four inches, since 1993 when satellites started measuring ocean height, and this rate is increasing. (Overall, sea levels have risen some eight to nine inches since 1880.)
“Every year is a little bit different, but what’s clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster," Josh Willis, who researches sea level rise at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement.
