The Earth's Shaking: Unveiling the Impact of Global Warming
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals that global ocean wave energy has been increasing over the past four decades, coinciding with rising global temperatures and storminess. Seismic data collected from seismographic networks around the world show a significant and progressive increase in wave energy, with the North Atlantic experiencing the fastest intensification. The findings highlight the potential dangers of increasing wave heights for coastal communities, emphasizing the need for climate change mitigation and resilient coastal infrastructure.
