Sea levels along the United States coast are rising faster than they did in the past, and the change is not subtle.

Understanding past sea level change is necessary for predicting future sea level rise. The main contributors to sea level variability are ice sheet change, ocean water temperature change (e.g., ...

Researchers 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 years of historical data ...

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind ...

Sentinel-6B satellite measurements show sea level changes across the North Atlantic, adding to decades of data used to track ...

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.

Sea-level rise changes coastlines, putting homes at risk, as Summer Haven, Fla., has seen. Aerial Views/E+/Getty Images Shaina Sadai, Five College Consortium and Ambarish Karmalkar, University 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 ...

A new analysis of ancient layers of peat at the bottom of the North Sea will help scientists more accurately project how much sea level will rise in the coming decades and centuries. The research ...

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 ...
