Long-lost ice core provides direct evidence that giant ice sheet melted off within the last million years and is highly vulnerable to a warming climate….
Glaciers in West Antarctica are moving more quickly from land into the ocean, contributing to rising global sea levels. A 25-year record of satellite observations…
Using a 25-year record of satellite observations over the Getz region in West Antarctica, scientists have discovered that the pace at which glaciers flow towards…
A new global ice sheet reconstruction for the past 80,000 years. During ice ages, the global mean sea level falls because large amounts seawater are…
There are two main elements to observe when assessing sea level rise. One is the loss of the ice on land, e.g., melting mountain glaciers…
Sea level could rise higher than current estimates by 2100 if climate change is unchallenged, according to a new assessment. Its authors say understanding the…
The water levels of the Caspian Sea will be 9 to 18 meters lower than they are now, German and Dutch researchers calculate. In the…
The jagged terrain of Greenland’s mountains is protecting some of the island’s outlet glaciers from warm coastal waters, according to a team of researchers that…
Launched less than three weeks ago, the Copernicus Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite has not only returned its first data, but results also show that it…
It was a sight you don’t normally see: a jellyfish lying dead in the middle of a parking lot partly submerged in water. But this…
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft will soon be heading into orbit to monitor the height of the ocean for nearly the entire globe. Preparations are…
Global sea level has been rising at a rate of 0.1 inches (3.3 millimeters) per year in the past three decades. The causes are mostly…
Set for launch in November, the Earth-observing satellite will closely monitor sea level and provide atmospheric data to support weather forecasting and climate models. On…
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft will launch from the U.S. West Coast aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in November. The world’s latest ocean-monitoring satellite…
An international effort that brought together more than 60 ice, ocean, and atmosphere scientists from three dozen international institutions has generated new estimates of how…
Scientists discover evidence for past high-level sea rise at current atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Mallorcan cave yields 4-million-year-old geologic evidence providing new insights into magnitude…
Twenty-five years of satellite data prove climate models are correct in predicting that sea levels will rise at an increasing rate. In a study published…
