By analyzing ancient peat deposits buried beneath the North Sea, scientists reconstructed the speed and scale of post-glacial sea level rise.

Glacial Lakes May Affect Sea-Level Rise Scientists are tracking how water atop Greenland's ice sheet pools and drains. The findings could help predict future rises in sea level ...

Scientists reconstructed 540 million years of sea level changes, showing Earth's oceans rose and fell by hundreds of feet ...

A few years ago, an ice-sheet model grabbed attention when it projected much faster losses of Antarctic ice and, subsequently, faster sea level rise. Understanding how quickly Antarctica dumps ice ...

An island community moved to the mainland. Now the fast-rising sea is following — a warning for the rest of the East Coast.

An Underwater Drone Helped Scientists Explore the Final Glacial Frontier Peeking beneath ice shelves is key for predicting sea level rise.

Sea level on Earth has been rising and falling ever since there was water on the planet. Scientists were already able to use ...

FIG. 1 compares eustatic data from New Zealand with a generalized eustatic curve calculated from raised strandlines in Sweden and Norway1. The Fennoscandian region is undergoing isostatic rebound ...

The melting of glacial ice around the world is reducing regional freshwater supplies and contributing to the ongoing rise in global sea levels. A new study, conducted as part of the GLaMBIE study, was ...

Given the amount of warming humans have already imposed on the planet, nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit, significant sea level rise is unavoidable even if we curb the burning of fossil fuels.

Ice collapsing off the Russell Glacier in Greenland. Researchers agree that ice-sheet melt in Greenland will lead to at least several inches of global sea-level rise by the end of the century ...
