Thank you @issibern.ch and Fabio Crameri!

🌊 NEW STUDY: The 2023-2024 El Niño triggered the largest sea level surge EVER recorded across Africa's oceans, surpassing even the powerful 1997-1998 event. Our new paper in @CommsEarth explains why this happened and what it means. 🧵 Thread below

"Sea-level rise poses a significant threat to Africa’s vital coastal ecosystems & the livelihoods of its growing populations... The rate of rise has accelerated markedly to 4.34 mm/yr since 2010, over 4 times the 1990s rate... this uneven rise intensifies risks for over 50 million coastal residents"

[4/8] L’étude montre que 80% de cette hausse provient de l’ajout d’eau lié à la fonte des glaciers et calottes polaires. L’expansion thermique de l’océan ne compte que pour 20%, un contraste net avec la moyenne mondiale où les deux mécanismes sont plus équilibrés.

Thank you @mongabay.com

Thank you for featuring our study! Africa is now more than ever at the forefront of cumulative extremes, which have been amplified by recent El Niño events. 📈

Great to find our work highlighted by @nansensenteret.bsky.social . Thank you.

🚨 Our new paper is out! First study focusing on African sea level rise from 1993 to present 🌊🌍 Sea levels accelerated 4.5× since the 1990s, from 0.96 to 4.34 mm/yr. 2023 broke records across 40% of African waters. Thread ⬇️ 📖 doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-02965-z

Grateful to join @g.egu.eu's "Expanding the Picture" series. Spotlighting geodesists beyond stereotypes! Read the full story: blogs.egu.eu/divisions/g/... You broke barriers for me and so many.

So excited our 3. #ICCC Workshop on #Geodesy for #Climate Research has started. I am looking forward to two days of super interesting science and discussions.
