地球大陆正在以惊人的速度干涸,使全球海平面上升比冰盖融化更加严重。 Earth's continents are drying at an alarming rate, exacerbating global sea level rise more than ice sheet melting.

新的研究显示,地球各大洲正在以前所未有的速度干涸,干涸地区面积每年大约比加利福尼亚州面积的两倍扩大。 A new study shows Earth's continents are drying at an unprecedented rate, with areas drying out expanding by about twice the size of California annually. 这一趋势受气候变化和人类地下水枯竭的驱动,比融化冰原更有助于全球海平面升高。 This trend, driven by climate change and human groundwater depletion, contributes more to global sea level rise than melting ice sheets. 该研究利用美国航天局的卫星数据,强调有必要在地球变暖时保护全球地下水供应。 The research, using NASA satellite data, emphasizes the need to protect groundwater supplies globally as the planet warms.
