The Bay Area could see up to 10 inches of sea level rise by 2050. Solano County, with its low-lying land along the Bay Shore, is one of several regions vulnerable to these rising levels — which ...

The Verde River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in Arizona, winding through what’s known as the Verde Valley before feeding into the Salt River. Agriculturally, the valley is relatively fertile ...

Climate change may threaten tens of millions more people than had been believed, according to a new study that says earlier research used incorrect information about water levels along the world’s ...

Sea level on Earth has been rising and falling ever since there was water on the planet. Scientists were already able to use sediments and fossils to roughly reconstruct how sea levels changed over ...

I see the next ten years as a stress test for coastal civilization: enough time for sea level rise to become impossible to ignore, but not enough for slow political systems to fully catch up. The ...

WASHINGTON — The Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine today announced an award of more than $7.3 million to support four interdisciplinary ...

Even as global warming causes sea levels to rise worldwide, sea levels around Greenland will likely drop, according to a new paper published in Nature Communications. "The Greenland coastline is going ...

Researchers found that a majority of studies on coastal sea levels underestimated how high water levels are, and hundreds of millions of people are closer to peril than previously thought. By Sachi ...

Sea-level rise has accelerated across Africa in recent decades, thanks to global warming and, in particular, to the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, according to a recent study. Sea levels across ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...
