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 ...

Several regions of the US could be submerged by 2050 if sea levels continue to rise at rates of 2mm and 4mm due to climate change. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to the anticipated sea ...

Large cities face rising sea levels along the coast of California, despite the state's climate change defenses. New data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science revealed that California's ...

SpaceX launched a joint NASA-European environmental research satellite early Monday, the second in an ongoing billion-dollar project to measure long-term changes in sea level, a key indicator of ...

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 ...
