When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

Antarctica is shedding weight, allowing the continent to rise from the ocean somewhat like a once-squished sponge now free to expand again. That weight is its ice. The process is called post-glacial ...

Rising sea levels reshape coastal areas faster than expected. Natural defenses fall behind and old seafloor maps hid ...

In 2024, the hottest year in recorded history, sea levels rose at a rate 35% more than expected, according to a new report from NASA. The space agency explained on its website that the acceleration of ...

New Jersey is likely to see between 2.2 and 3.8 feet of sea-level rise by 2100 if the current level of global carbon ...

Polar ice caps are as far away from equatorial Malaysia as they can get. But the interconnectedness of the Earth’s climate system means that changes in one region can have far-reaching consequences in ...

The rising earth beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet will likely become a major factor in future sea level rise, a new study suggests. The rising earth beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet will likely become a ...

A new study has found that powerful atmospheric rivers—narrow bands of concentrated moisture that deliver heavy rain and strong winds—could significantly contribute to sea level rise along the West ...

People from all walks of life flock to coasts and seashores to play, work or simply enjoy the beauty of the ocean. But as the climate changes, coastlines are coming to represent something else – ...

Rising land beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet could slow ice loss and reduce sea-level rise in coming centuries. However, if emissions continue to rise, the effect could raise sea levels even more than ...
