As sea level rise continues to post a dangerous threat to our world, scientists and researchers alike continue to work towards finding a solution. Michael Wolovick, a researcher at Princeton University adds another idea to the pile using geo-engineering. His plan is to build underwater walls at the base of glaciers to protect them from warm water. Although the project is still a few years away, it serves as another hope to combat the rise is sea level. Learn more about his work here: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/01/a-new-geo-engineering-proposal-to-stop-sea-level-rise/550214/
