The world's sea levels are rising at faster and faster rates as waters warm and ice sheets melt.

Researchers led by Steve Nerem, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, looked at satellite data dating back to 1993 to track sea-level rise.

Their findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal in 2018, show that sea levels aren't just rising. The rate has been accelerating over the past 25 years.
