A new study from the University of Portsmouth has sounded a global climate alarm, warning that rising sea levels are pushing saltwater inland at an accelerating pace – with severe consequences for water, food and communities.

Focusing on the Bengal Delta in Bangladesh – the world’s largest river delta – researchers tracked two decades of data from 50 monitoring stations.

They found that salinity levels have steadily risen, with stepwise increases since 2007, often linked to storm surges from cyclones like Sidr.
