Scientists in the US and Europe have come together in order to monitor and counteract the problem of rising sea levels. The global mean sea level has risen between 8-9 inches since 1880. A third of this rise in sea level has occurred over the past 25 years. Scientists from the US-based space exploration agency the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop an Earth-imaging satellite with new technology designed to monitor the rising sea level.Â
