Rising seas will exacerbate problems that coastal communities are already dealing with, including high-tide, or “nuisance,” floods. Inundated roadways like this one in Virginia are…
The beach at Perranporth in North Cornwall (UK) has already been dramatically affected by the effects of extreme storms and sea-level rise. Credit: University of…
The experimental setup and test site at Store Glacier, Greenland. Researchers conceptualized a battery-powered receiver with an antenna placed on the ice that can measure…
This map shows sea level measured by the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite from June 5 to 15. Red areas are regions where sea level is…
The Copernicus Sentinel-6 Poseidon-4 dual-frequency (C- and Ku-band) radar altimeter uses an innovative interleaved mode that has improved performance compared to previous satellite altimeter designs.…
Study sheds light on the future of the massive Thwaites Glacier. The world’s largest ice sheets may be in less danger of sudden collapse than…
Nation’s ability to predict sea-level rise boosted with record going back to 10,000 years ago. Climate scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU, Singapore)…

This April full moon is known as the pink moon because it heralds the arrival of spring flowers. A “super full moon” is coming on…
Inland-creeping saltwater is changing U.S. coastal wetlands, and now you can see the effects from space. Credit: NASA / U.S. Geological Survey Rising seas and…
It is well known that climate-induced sea level rise is a major threat. New research has found that previous ice loss events could have caused…
At the fringes of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where glaciers are constantly melting, water rushes everywhere through an intricate system of lakes and streams that…
The melting rate of the Antarctic ice sheet is mainly controlled by the increase of ocean temperatures surrounding Antarctica. Using a new, higher-resolution climate model…
