海平面上升，太平洋所罗门群岛5座岛屿彻底消失 - 全球变暖,太平洋,所罗门群岛 - IT资讯

澳大利亚一项研究显示，受海平面上升和海岸侵蚀影响，太平洋岛国所罗门群岛的5座岛屿已经“彻底消失”。

研究人员7日说，除5座岛屿消失外，该国还有6座岛屿正遭受严重的海岸侵蚀，情况也不容乐观。例如，其中一座岛上的10栋房屋于2011年至2014年期间被大海所“吞噬”。

值得注意的是，消失的5座岛屿均属于礁岛，而非仅由沙子构成，因此其遭侵蚀程度如此严重令人担忧。不过，这5座岛屿平时无人居住，只是偶尔有渔民登岛。

澳大利亚昆士兰大学高级研究员西蒙·阿尔贝特介绍，所罗门群岛是受海平面上升影响的“热点”地区，其海平面上升速度是全球平均速度的近3倍。
