Abstract.
The global sea levels have been on a slow but steady rise over the last two centuries. Global temperatures have been blamed for the rise in global sea levels with research showing that heat expands the volume of water in the sea and melts ice glaciers. The rise in sea level, if not curbed, could have diverse effects especially in regions with a unique topography such as Australia. Encroachment of dry land by salty sea water could cause pollution to seep into fresh water sources as well as render previously lucrative agricultural lands as barren. The issue of the steady rise ...
