More than 30 years of satellite measurements confirm that global sea-level projections made in the mid-1990s closely match what has actually occurred, according to Tulane University researchers whose ...

Scientists are warning that if heat-trapping pollution continues to rise, sea levels will very likely climb half a meter to two meters (1.6 to 6.6 feet) by the end of this century, a range that is 90 ...

One of the most certain and intractable problems associated with climate change is sea level rise. According to ...

Around the world, sea levels are rising. But, strangely, in Greenland, they're actually forecast to fall in the coming decades. In a new study, a team led by geophysicist Lauren Lewright at Columbia ...

William & Mary's Batten School & VIMS 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 ...

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

A 30-year-old forecast of sea-level rise has proved to be remarkably accurate, according to a Tulane University geologist. What is even more amazing is that the forecast three decades ago was done ...

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 ...

Greenland loses 200 billion tons of ice per year, lifting the land and lowering nearby sea levels even as global oceans ...
