Tropical islands holding their own against rising seas

When researchers compared old aerial photographs and satellite images of low lying tropical islands with current day, they expected to see some islands submerged. Instead they saw many had maintained their size or even grew.

As oceans rose, they carried more sand and sediment to shore, replenishing what was lost. The islands’ shapes and positions may have shifted, but they didn’t shrink.

This is good news for the creatures that inhabit these islands. Any people who live on these islands will need to be able to move their structures as the islands morph.
