The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise and “catastrophic” migration away from coastlines, even if the world pulls off the miraculous and ...

Understanding past sea level change is necessary for predicting future sea level rise. The main contributors to sea level variability are ice sheet change, ocean water temperature change (e.g., ...

Every summer you go down the shore, but lately you’ve begun to notice that the beach seems narrower each time you visit. Is that the sea level rising, or is the sand just being swept away? Speaking of ...

A new map shows how parts of Louisiana could be swallowed up by the sea if ocean levels rise, amid warnings from experts that coastal states are likely to be among those worst-hit by climate change.

Sea level rise — mostly due to glacial melt largely caused by anthropogenic climate change — has been a hot button topic for the past half century. But historically defining the basic parameters of ...

In the mid-fifteen-hundreds, a Swedish peasant named Nils lived on an island called Iggön in the Baltic Sea. He was known to his neighbors as Rich Nils, apparently because of the plenitude of fish in ...

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind ...

Florida will not be going the way of Atlantis any time soon, at least by human time scales. Sea levels have risen and fallen throughout Earth's history as it passed through its ice ages and other ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has projected that if the rate of global CO2 emissions continues to increase and reaches a high emission scenario, sea levels would as a result very likely ...

It’s undeniable: The sea is rising. Property and infrastructure near and on the shoreline will be at risk of flooding. In Marin, that means San Rafael’s Canal neighborhood, Marin City and low-lying ...
