Research has discovered an extensive and continuous loss of glaciers and ice caps across Greenland, starting from the early years of the 20th century. This…
Why is sea level rising? So on global scales, sea level is rising really because of our warming climate. There’s two main factors causing sea…
Decades of retreat are visible from above, but harder-to-see changes below the waterline could also affect this iconic glacier’s future. Petermann Glacier is one of…
Salt marshes along the U.S. East Coast have been building elevation to keep pace with rising sea levels over the last century, according to a…
The past decade has seen the worst years for polar ice sheet melting, with 2019 being the record year. Ice sheet melting now accounts for…
Researchers found rates of sea-level rise of about a half an inch per year since 2010 — three times higher than the global average over…
According to scientists, the Amundsen Sea Embayment, which is the fastest-changing region in Antarctica, has experienced a loss of more than 3,000 billion tons of…
Newly updated elevation models of coastal regions indicate that the area of land that would be inundated with a 1 to 2 meter rise in…
New data from an international expedition and underwater robot Icefin beneath the remote Thwaites Glacier, nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier, in Antarctica. It is one of…
A study published in Nature Communications today (February 14) by an international team of scientists shows that an irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and…
A process that can contribute to the melting of ice shelves in the Antarctic has been discovered by researchers. An international team of researchers has…
New results show average sea level rise approaching the 1-foot mark for most coastlines of the contiguous U.S. by 2050. The Gulf Coast and Southeast…
Princeton scientists found that the Bering Land Bridge was flooded until 35,700 years ago, with its full emergence occurring only shortly before the migration of…
A new video series highlights the hard work and passion of scientists and engineers who helped get this remarkable new satellite off the ground. On…
Rocky coastlines could retreat more rapidly in the future due to accelerating sea level rise. This is especially concerning because rock coasts make up over…
A new study combined GPS, satellite data, and numerical modeling. It found ice loss from northeast Greenland could be six times greater by the end…
An international coalition led by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers released a new report that says the Earth’s vital signs have reached “code red” and…
