Although, the study involved only the land area, Kench says his previous researchers had shown that cyclones and storms — which are predicted to become more frequent with climate change — also often played an important role in increasing the heights of the islands.
The study shows that some islands are growing because waves, currents and winds are pushing coral debris from the surrounding reefs onto the shore.
The study is very important and relevant but not very reliable. The modern methods of taking the aerial views and measurement of these islands through satellite images is far more accurate and comparing them with 60 yr old conventional maps is not logical. We may compare today’s results with new data taken after 5-10 yr and then draw the conclusions.
The study found seven islands having grown in area by more than 3% on an average since the 1950s with one island expanding nearly by 30%.
