The planet’s warming has caused roughly a third of the global sea level rise observed by satellite altimeters since 2004.

Understanding the land contributions to sea-level rise is just one facet of a more general problem — that of estimating contemporary global hydrological variability and changes, and attributing ...

The geology of the Cascadia subduction zone has largely staved off climate-related sea-level rise in the Pacific Northwest, ...

Over the past two decades, satellite-based planetary observations have recorded rapid mass loss of Patagonian glaciers, ...

Mass changes across the Antarctic ice sheet have been detected using satellite gravimetry, revealing significant ...

The models also project that global sea levels will rise between 3.5 and 34.6 inches this century—and continue to rise for centuries. Even a lower-end sea-level rise of 11.8 inches would cause a ...

A new interactive map called the “Coastal Risk Finder” allows you to zoom into your neighborhood to see what water levels will be like in 20 years, 30 years, 40 years and so on.

What’s new: Almost half of global average temperature rise and a third of sea-level rise can be attributed to the “carbon majors,” the world’s 122 largest fossil fuel and cement producers ...
