The East Coast of the U.S. is sinking, impacting major cities and infrastructure, with a significant population at risk. A new study calls for urgent…
Sea level rises could cost the EU and UK up to 872 billion Euros by 2100, indicating a need for region-specific economic strategies. Damage caused…
U.S. Atlantic coast cities are sinking faster than the global sea level is rising, posing risks to infrastructure in densely populated areas like New York…
Building up wetlands that are drowning under rising oceans remains a challenge, but scientists are now one step closer to identifying solutions. Amid climate change,…
An international group of researchers, utilizing historical data gathered from various locations in Australia, has presented the most precise estimate so far of the historical…
A new study shows the largest floating ice shelves in North Greenland have lost more than a third of their volume since 1978, largely due…
Data on sea surface heights around the world from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission yields a mesmerizing view of the planet’s ocean….
Simulations showed that meltwater flowing beneath Antarctic glaciers accelerated sea-level rise by 15% by 2300, suggesting it should be factored into future projections. A new…
A recent theory illustrates the mechanism by which water underneath glaciers may surge — creating a dangerous feedback cycle. Two Georgia Tech researchers, Alex Robel…
Some floods are so severe they rarely strike more than once a century, but rising seas could threaten coastal communities with yearly extreme floods by…
The survival of marshes and other vulnerable coastal regions hinges on the ability to restrict global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit),…
New analysis of sediments from the Camp Century ice core reveals that northwestern Greenland was ice-free during the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11 interglacial period….
Scientists report much of the Artic island’s ice melted as recently as 416,000 years ago, which has implications for sea-level rise. Newly analyzed samples from…
Long-lost ice core reveals that most of Greenland was green 416,000 years ago. A large portion of Greenland was an ice-free tundra landscape—perhaps covered by…
Tectonic changes alter sea levels which can create breeding grounds for life. Researchers have discovered that Earth’s tectonic plate movements cause sea levels to rise…
The shifting of mass and consequent sea level rise due to groundwater withdrawal has caused the Earth’s rotational pole to wander nearly a meter in…
Researchers from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration found that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet had been thinner in the past and had regrown, suggesting that…
