Scientific studies from beneath Greenland’s vast ice sheet have revealed that the region may be far more vulnerable to ...

Exactly when areas around the bay's edge will go underwater is uncertain, but studies suggest that by 2050, the region could experience 12 to 36 inches of sea level rise.

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

Access roads such as Calle Del Arroyo and Highway 1 would face increased storm flooding with as little as 1 to 2 feet of sea-level rise, which the study projects would occur between 2040 and 2050.

Volcanic islands, such as the islands of Hawaii and the Caribbean, are surrounded by coral reefs that encircle an island in a labyrinthine, living ring. A coral reef is punctured at points by reef ...

When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet. Like the moon, the gravity of the ice sheets ...

Sea-level rise isn’t always slow and steady. Fossil corals from the Seychelles show that it has surged in quick bursts in the past – rising much faster than most people would expect. The fossilized ...

Wutip, the first storm in the East Sea so far this year, has wreaked havoc across central Vietnam, claiming lives, displacing residents, and causing widespread damage to houses, crops, and ...

Perhaps more importantly, though, the researchers discovered that there were three distinct periods of sudden and sharp sea-level rise over the 6,000 years leading up to peak sea levels during the ...

Science New Climate Study Highlights Dire Sea Level Warnings To learn about how polar ice sheets melted during an ancient era, scientists examined fossil coral reefs in the tropics.
