Oceans, Glaciers, and Rising Sea Levels
A Graphic Guide
Books in The Climate Crisis series cover urgent issues with an accessible, impactful graphic approach.
Earth is nearly 70 percent water. Most of this water is frozen in the form of glaciers. As our planet warms, glaciers are melting faster than usual. Sea levels rise, and water washes over coastal areas. Homes are destroyed. Habitats are lost.
Scientists have been following the changes in glacier ice and ocean levels. Discover what they've learned and what changes humans need to make to keep our heads above water.

Reviews
This series packs a lot of information on environmental awareness and activism into eye-pleasing graphic guides. Each title concentrates on one area of the climate crisis and covers accessible history and background, recognizable consequences, predicted future impact, and ways to mitigate problems through everyday activities, letter-writing campaigns, and grassroots movements… Oceans, Glaciers, and Rising Sea Levels features charts, maps, and graphs and portrays alarmed scientists reacting to dismaying statistics and alarming comparisons. All the titles move along at a good pace and should keep readers’ interest. Each concludes with a glossary, source notes, and brief bibliography. These serve as great supplementary material, and their important messages go down nice and easy.
