Several authors have studied the increasing sea level worldwide over the last century. These experts agreed on the accelerating rate of sea level rise in recent decades, which is widely associated to one of the effects of climate change. The study from Dangendorf et al. found a sea level rise in 2015 of around 49.52 millimeters higher than the historic average between 1992 and 2006. Satellite altimeters showed a measurement of 55.29 millimeters.
