Recent research conducted by an international team of scientists from Utrecht University, the UK, and the US has resulted in a significant advancement in the understanding of sea level changes.
In 2024, the hottest year in recorded history, sea levels rose at a rate 35% more than expected, according to a new report from NASA. The space agency explained on its website that the acceleration of ...
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 ...
Sea-level rise has accelerated across Africa in recent decades, thanks to global warming and, in particular, to the melting ...
An Antarctic glacier shrunk by nearly 50% in just two months, the fastest retreat recorded in modern history, according to a new study — and the way it retreated could have big implications for global ...
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 ...
A groundbreaking international study by marine scientists based in Singapore has revealed that sea-level rise in the Indian Ocean began accelerating far earlier than previously thought, with corals ...
Even as global warming causes sea levels to rise worldwide, sea levels around Greenland will likely drop, according to a new ...
Over the next decade, rising oceans are poised to redraw the edges of some of the world’s best known coastal cities, turning today’s “once in a century” floods into regular events and pushing salt ...
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 ...
Nicole S. Khan is in the Department of Earth Sciences and the Swire Institute of Marine Science, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Read the paper: Global sea-level rise in the early Holocene ...
