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., ...

In addition to seaweed harvesters, towns and regulators may use the high-definition map to help them manage the coastline and ...

A new map reveals where in the state of California the land is gradually sinking, exacerbating future risks related to rising global sea levels. The work—undertaken by remote sensing specialist Marin ...

Researchers have released their 2024 U.S. sea level 'report cards,' providing updated analyses of sea level trends and projections for 36 coastal communities. Encompassing 55 years of historical data ...

For around 2,000 years, global sea levels varied little. That changed in the 20th century. They started rising and have not stopped since — and the pace is accelerating. Scientists are scrambling to ...

Sea level on Earth has been rising and falling ever since there was water on the planet. Scientists were already able to use sediments and fossils to roughly reconstruct how sea levels changed over ...

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 ...

Alarming new research shows that the water levels are rising even faster than previously expected. Scientists have known for a while that global warming will continue to melt Earth's glaciers, causing ...

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 ...

Now scientists working in Oregon are adding a new wrinkle to these presumptions, showing the risks could be far greater. Much of the Oregon, Washington and northern California coast is slowly rising — ...

Large cities face rising sea levels along the coast of California, despite the state's climate change defenses. New data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science revealed that California's ...
