STUDY FINDS SINKING ISLANDS ARE A MATTER OF FICTION Islands in the vicinity of Tuvalu are growing rather than sinking as the planet warms, scientists report in the peer-reviewed Sustainability Science. “Despite the widely held perception that reef islands around the perimeter of coral atolls are eroding and will disappear as a consequence of sea-level rise resulting from global warming, this study shows that the total area of reef islands on Tarawa Atoll has increased over recent decades,” the scientists report.
