An interdisciplinary team of researchers from NTU Singapore, and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands, has projected that if the rate of global CO 2 emissions continues to ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...

Rising seas are irreversible on human timescales and among the most severe consequences of climate change. Emissions released in the coming decades will determine how much coastlines are reshaped for ...

New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, about 11,700 years ago. This information is of great importance to ...

David Legates was a Visiting Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment. The rise in mean global sea levels has been ongoing since the demise of the last Ice Age, ...

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 ...

Waves top the boardwalk at Mission Beach in San Diego during a king tide event in December 2023. Human-caused climate change is pushing global temperatures and global sea levels to new heights. In the ...

California's beaches are world famous. But new research indicates many could disappear by the century's end due to erosion from sea level rise. "The shoreline, where the water meets the sand right now ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has projected that if the rate of global CO2 emissions continues to increase and reaches a high emission scenario, sea levels would as a result very likely ...

Shaina Sadai has received funding from the National Science Foundation and the Hitz Family Foundation. Ambarish Karmalkar receives funding from National Science Foundation. When polar ice sheets melt, ...
