ABSTRACT:

Global warming is the biggest crisis ever collectively faced by human kind. Unlike other crises, it is global in nature that threatens survival of humankind. Sea level rise is one of the most alarming aspects of Global Warming all over the world. This phenomenon is a major concern for the populations of low-lying countries especially island countries and some of them are at the verge of submergence. The present paper is an attempt to assess systematically the various aspects of the sea level rise such as its factors and evidences, regional variation, consequences and future projections.Considering the highly negative impact of future sea level rise for society, it is suggested that multidisciplinary aspects such as observations, modelling, coastal impact studies, etc. of sea level rise should remain a thrust area for climatic research.
