A study published in Nature on March 4, 2026, found that more than 99% of coastal hazard assessments conducted over the past 16 years used flawed sea-level data, meaning actual ocean levels are ...

A systematic review of nearly 400 coastal hazard studies has found that the vast majority relied on flawed assumptions about where sea level actually sits, leading to significant underestimates of ...

Most coastal risk assessments have underestimated current sea levels, meaning tens of millions of people face losing their homes to rising waters earlier than expected ...

A new study found that many of our predictions on sea-level rise have been predicated on inaccurate starting numbers. In many places, especially Southeast Asia and the Pacific, it's significantly ...

Many coastal maps start from the wrong sea-level baseline, and correcting the error could mean millions more are vulnerable ...

Rising sea levels a foot higher than thought, placing tens of millions more in danger, study finds - Nearly 30 percent of the ...

Researchers found that a majority of studies on coastal sea levels underestimated how high water levels are, and hundreds of millions of people are closer to peril than previously thought.

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 ...

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 ...
