Observations from 11 satellite missions monitoring the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have revealed that the regions are losing ice six times faster than they were in the 1990s. If the current melting trend continues, the regions will be on track to match the "worst-case" scenario of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of an extra 6.7 inches (17 centimeters) of sea level rise by 2100.

Happy Birthday to CCMS: we are 2 today!
On 9 March 2020 the Center for Coastal and Marine Studies (CCMS) celebrates two years of establishment and active work. We have accomplished so much, but the best is yet to come!
The CCMS was born with the fundamental goal of developing and promoting science, research, knowledge transfer and innovation technologies in the Black Sea and in the World Ocean by bringing together science, environment, expertise, stakeholders and policy making.
