Traduction de «élévation océanique » (Français → Anglais) :

Overcoming these challenges will be key to the future development of the ocean energy sector and its ability to deliver high volumes of low carbon electricity to Europe.

This may be particularly important for island nations and regions, where ocean energy can contribute to energy self-sufficiency and replace expensive diesel-generated electricity.

2. Reiterates that man-made greenhouse gases have wide-ranging impacts on the complex dynamics of the marine environment and that marine ecosystems already under pressure from pollution, insufficiently regulated, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are also being affected by warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changes in salinity and acidification, possible changes in the circulation of ocean currents as well as the spatial distribution of live aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans etc) and their spread along the water column; moreover recalls that scientific models predict further increases in atmospheric ...[+++] temperature and average sea level and that the most effective way to tackle climate change is a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;

Climate change increases land and sea temperatures and alters precipitation quantity and patterns, resulting in the increase of global average sea level, risks of coastal erosion and an expected increase in the severity of weather-related natural disasters.

By 1987 two parallel tunnels had been drilled 3.5 kilometres to what is known as the Harbour seam, ending at a depth of about 160 metres below the ocean floor, at a cost of roughly $100 million.
