In the Mediterranean Sea, studies are indicating a sea-level rise of 1.1 – 1.3 mm/yr. [18] By the end of the century it is estimated that there will be a coastal retreat of more than 280m. In 1990 United Nations Environment Programme warned of these impacts stating that ‘it is likely that the impact of climate change will first be felt in ...
Crete and Cyrenaica (Latin: Creta et Cyrenaica, Koinē Greek: Κρήτη καὶ Κυρηναϊκή, romanized: Krḗtē kaì Kyrēnaïkḗ) was a senatorial province of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire, established in 67 BC, which included the island of Crete and the region of Cyrenaica in modern-day Libya. These areas were ...
In sharp contrast, the period between 14,300 and 11,100 years ago, which includes the Younger Dryas interval, was an interval of reduced sea level rise at about 6.0–9.9 mm/yr. Meltwater pulse 1C was centered at 8,000 years ago and produced a rise of 6.5 m in less than 140 years, such that sea levels 5000 years ago were around 3m lower than ...
The upcoming climate talks in Paris have generated a lot of buzz lately. Multiple large organizations are coming out with reports on the climate's future impact on humans, and the general ...
Rising sea levels made the deeply incised Nile river become a ria as far inland as Aswan, some 900 km (560 mi) upstream from the modern coast. [52] The Zanclean flood resulted in the final isolation of numerous Mediterranean islands such as Crete, [53] resulting in speciation of animals found there. [54]
Between 1901 and 2018, the average sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), with an increase of 2.3 mm (0.091 in) per year since the 1970s. [44]: 1216 This was faster than the sea level had ever risen over at least the past 3,000 years. [44]: 1216 The rate accelerated to 4.62 mm (0.182 in)/yr for the decade 2013–2022. [45]
Sea levels are rising fast, and predicted to climb higher in the coming decades. This makes buying a retirement home that's right on the water a risky move. 5 beach retirement spots to escape ...
Satellite image of Libya with Cyrenaica on the right side, showing the green Mediterranean coast in the north and the large desert in the centre and south. Geologically, Cyrenaica rests on a mass of Miocene limestone that tilts up steeply from the Mediterranean Sea and falls inland with a gradual descent to sea level again.
