Coastal Erosion to Double by Mid-Century in Hawaii as Sea Levels Rise

Scientists have taken a closer look at sea level rise and the effects of this erosion, and have found that the coastal erosion of Hawai'i's beaches may actually double by mid-century.

Scientists Estimate Which Regions are Most at Risk for Sea Level Rise

The number of people exposed to future sea level rise may be growing. Scientists have taken a closer look at the population along coasts and have found that the amount of people in these areas is increasing.

IPCC Sea-Level Rise Scenarios Fall Short for At-Risk Coastal Cities

It turns out that the sea-level rise scenarios for high-risk coastal areas aren't good enough--at least according to new research.

Sea Levels Spiked for Two Years on the Northeast Coast--And May Rise Again

It turns out that there was a four-inch increase in sea levels stretching from New York to Newfoundland in 2009 and 2010 due to a change in ocean circulation.

Global Sea-Level Rise is Accelerating Faster Than Previously Estimated

Global sea levels continue to rise. In fact, there's been an acceleration in this rise from the 20th century to the last two decades and now, scientists have found this increase has been far larger than previously estimated.

'Missing' Water from Greenland Ice Sheet Found by Studying Meltwater Rivers

Scientists are taking a closer look at Greenland's ice sheet, and have discovered just how much meltwater is contributing to rising sea levels. They've found evidence that the rivers and streams flowing on top of the ice sheet could be major contributors to rising seas.

Tipping Point for Sea Level Rise May Occur by the Year 2050

Scientists have taken a closer look at how seal level rise may influence flooding by the year 2050, and have discovered that the majority of U.S. coastal areas are likely to be threatened by 30 or more days of flooding each year.

Scientists Examine Worst Case Scenario for Rising Sea Levels

As ice sheets melt and sea levels rise, it's more important than ever to accurately estimate how high these levels will be. Now, scientists have come up with a model that forecasts the worst case scenario when it comes to rising sea levels.
