海平面上升,太平洋所罗门群岛5座岛屿彻底消失 - 全球变暖,太平洋,所罗门群岛 - IT资讯
澳大利亚一项研究显示,受海平面上升和海岸侵蚀影响,太平洋岛国所罗门群岛的5座岛屿已经“彻底消失”。
研究人员7日说,除5座岛屿消失外,该国还有6座岛屿正遭受严重的海岸侵蚀,情况也不容乐观。例如,其中一座岛上的10栋房屋于2011年至2014年期间被大海所“吞噬”。
值得注意的是,消失的5座岛屿均属于礁岛,而非仅由沙子构成,因此其遭侵蚀程度如此严重令人担忧。不过,这5座岛屿平时无人居住,只是偶尔有渔民登岛。
澳大利亚昆士兰大学高级研究员西蒙·阿尔贝特介绍,所罗门群岛是受海平面上升影响的“热点”地区,其海平面上升速度是全球平均速度的近3倍。
