"If an ice sheet melts, its gravitational attraction decreases and sea levels around it can go down. Conversely, regions far from a melting ice sheet, such as Singapore, will see a rise in sea level greater than the global average," says Prof Ben Horton

Hear from sea level rise expert Ben Horton at @EOS_SG on what drives sea level rise, and how a melting Antarctica is contributing to this in this video:

New paper on RSL on the Sunda Shelf using coral microatolls from Xiu Wen Wan and colleagues. Interesting discussion of the challenges using these compared with other recent microatoll-based reconstructions that are inferred to be severely eroded sciencedirect.com/science/ar… – at Durham, England

The Earth lost a staggering 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. While the melting of ice bodies may occur far from Southeast Asia, they can affect us – but how? @NTU_ASE PhD student @fangyi2110 tells us more.

Here Tim Dixon, Rocco Malservisi and Surui Xie have developed a simple but powerful technique based on GPS to monitor seafloor deformation! This will have broad implications in Geodesy! A great read. sciencedaily.com/releases/20…

Low angle, low energy, beach recovery near Tanauan, Leyte, Philippines. The 2013 pre-Haiyan beach was 20-30m further seaward. The beach is slowly recovering over the dead palms and the pockets of soil that are remnants of the former land surface.

Keeping our #oceans healthy is key for humanity’s survival, as it provides us with food, oxygen and is home to over 90 per cent of the world’s organisms. Some 50 @NTUsg students and staff collected over 65kg of trash when they cleaned up East Coast beach last week. @NTU_ASE
