Mar. 23, 2021 —Maps generally indicate elevation in meters above sea level. But sea level is not the same everywhere. A group of experts has developed an International Height Reference System (IHRS) that will unify ...
Oct. 26, 2020 —A researcher proposes a new approach to monitoring global sea-level rise. Using the existing NOAA Global Drifter Program array of roughly 1,200 buoys that drift freely with ocean currents, he ...
Sep. 29, 2022 —Rising sea levels from melting glaciers and ice sheets pose an increasing threat to coastal communities worldwide. A new analysis of high-resolution satellite observations takes a major step forward ...
Apr. 21, 2022 —When a large ice sheet begins to melt, global-mean sea level rises, but local sea level near the ice sheet may in fact drop. A researcher illustrates this effect through a series of calculations, ...
Dec. 21, 2021 —A new study finds the magnetic field generated by a tsunami can be detected a few minutes earlier than changes in sea level and could improve warnings of these giant ...
Aug. 20, 2020 —Researchers have identified a global tendency for future sea levels to become more variable as oceans warm this century due to increasing greenhouse gas ...
Feb. 24, 2022 —Scientists have found that modern rates of sea level rise began emerging in 1863 as the Industrial Age intensified, coinciding with evidence for early ocean warming and glacier melt. The study, ...
Mar. 23, 2021 —The rate of sea-level rise in the 20th century along much of the U.S. Atlantic coast was the fastest in 2,000 years, and southern New Jersey had the fastest rates, according to a new ...
Jan. 21, 2021 —Scientists have found that 269 airports are at risk of coastal flooding now. A temperature rise of 2C - consistent with the Paris Agreement - would lead to 100 airports being below mean sea level and ...
