Sea levels are rising faster than at any point in the last 4,000 years, highlighting the urgent need for “global and local” action. New research has warned that climate change and human activities are ...

Climate-driven sea level rise (SLR) will intensify extreme sea level (ESL) events along China’s coast. This study reconstructs continuous hourly total sea level (TSL) by incorporating SLA, tide, storm ...

Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice ...

The world’s rising seas threaten millions of people living in coastal areas. A higher baseline level of water brings more frequent flooding that can sweep away roads, buildings and other important ...

The world’s oceans are rising at an accelerating pace, and scientists now say they can fully explain what’s driving it. Warming seawater is the biggest factor, while melting glaciers and polar ice ...

Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period, a study published in the ...

This is read by an automated voice. Please report any issues or inconsistencies here. A new study reveals scientists have been underestimating global sea levels for decades, potentially putting ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new study suggests that the scientific community has been broadly misrepresenting sea level rise, especially in coastal areas of the global south, ...

Almost all research on the impacts of future sea-level rise has assumed today’s sea levels are lower than they actually are due to a “methodological blind spot”. That means flooding and erosion will ...

The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is one of the fastest changing regions on the planet and an emerging resource frontier for fisheries. Here, we present the Antarctic Ecosystem Value Index created ...

New Jersey is likely to see between 2.2 and 3.8 feet of sea-level rise by 2100 if the current level of global carbon emissions continue, but seas could rise by as much as 4.5 feet if ice-sheet melt ...

Standing on the coast and looking out to sea, you cannot detect the changes with the naked eye. But in northern Germany, sea levels are rising, as is the risk of flooding for the lower-lying coastal ...
