A new study published in Nature has found that sea levels along the world’s coastlines are already significantly higher than the majority of scientific assessments have assumed. The finding, which ...

A new 30-year analysis reveals that melting land ice is now the main force behind rising global sea levels. Researchers ...

Adjusting to a more accurate coastal height baseline means that if seas rise by a little more than 3 feet — as some studies ...

Sea levels are rising faster than at any point in the last 4,000 years, highlighting the urgent need for “global and local” action. New research has warned that climate change and human activities are ...

Accelerating sea level rise driven by warming oceans and melting ice threatens coastal cities worldwide, placing up to a billion people at risk before the end of the century.

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 ...

It’s usually a bad idea to generalize too much about anything – particularly science, where different selection pressures and environmental one-offs can tweak a basic model into something quite out of ...

In climate news, new research suggests that human activity is causing ocean levels to rise far faster than government planners previously thought, with tens of millions more people at risk of losing ...

New Jersey is likely to see between 2.2 and 3.8 feet of sea-level rise by 2100 if the current level of global carbon emissions continue, but seas could rise by as much as 4.5 feet if ice-sheet melt ...
