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., ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

Panama is one of the many countries around the world that is at risk of losing large areas of its coastline to sea level rise, with a new report finding that over 2 percent of its coastline is in ...

Sea level change cannot be determined by comparing past and present images of one landmark, according to researchers. One reason for this is that local sea level rise varies considerably on different ...

The Antarctic ice sheet is melting in a new, worrying way that scientific models used to project future sea level rise have not taken into account, suggesting current projections could be ...

Consequences, they say, collect in low places. A new NASA analysis, using data collected from different specialized satellites, reports that sea levels rose more than expected in 2024. But as any ...
