“In the Mediterranean Sea, and in the Adriatic as well, surprisingly the
sea level rise seems to be recently decelerated (Douglas, 1992; Orli} and
Pasari}, 1994). This behaviour may be related to the building of the Assuan
Dam which reduced the Nile discharge, and consequently increased the salinity
of the Mediterranean.” [Ivica Vilibi GEOFIZIKA VOL. 14 1997]
The Med.would dry out because of evaporation and is constantly topped up by an inflow of water from the Atlantic,so how can its level be rising?
According to this Warning on rising Med Sea levels and other sources the level is rising.Is the Med cooling then and evaporation slowing?
