CAMPUS | Environment Research shows rise in CA sea levels

JENNIFER NGUYEN Daily Titan

Research surrounding rising sea levels in Orange County and the rest of the world was presented by the director of the John D. Coo- per Archaeological and Paleonto- logical Center at the Titan Student Union on Thursday. Director of the Cooper Cen- ter, Jere H. Lipps, Ph.D., professor emeritus at UC Berkeley, has taught paleontology and integra- tive biology for 22 years. According to Lipps, the main cause of the rise in sea level is the “natural variations in distance re- lationships between the earth and the sun,” which causes the climate to fluctuate between warm and cool. As the climate warms up, the world’s ice sheets will crumble and fall apart. Thermal expansion of seawater ALVIN KIM / For the Daily Titan is also a huge factor in rising sea Rep.
