Scientists say Antarctica’s current ice loss can predict sea-level rise for decades, but after mid-century, the future ...

The Netherlands has spent decades building a sophisticated water-defense system. But as sea levels rise, experts say it could ...

The world’s oceans are rising at an accelerating pace, and scientists now say they can fully explain what’s driving it. Warming seawater is the biggest factor, while melting glaciers and polar ice ...

Densely populated coastal regions in many parts of the world are particularly vulnerable to flooding. The sinking of land masses exacerbates the impacts of rising sea levels in these areas, according ...

Sea-level rise presents long-term risks in Aruba that can lead to sizable permanent costs with potentially large macroeconomic and fiscal consequences. Aruba cannot control global sea-level, but it ...

For almost a century, researchers have known that vertical land motion—the lifting and sinking of the ground—affects sea level locally. As the ground sinks, the sea level rises relative to the land.

Rising sea levels caused by climate change may be significantly higher than previously thought, according to a new study, which says a "methodological blind spot" led researchers to underestimate ...

The rate of sea-level rise along U.S. coastlines has more than doubled over the past 125 years, according to a new analysis that examined data from scores of tide gauges from around the country. The ...
