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 ...

For around 2,000 years, global sea levels varied little. That changed in the 20th century. They started rising and have not stopped since — and the pace is accelerating. Scientists are scrambling to ...

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial baseline won’t be enough to stop sea levels from rising by several metres over the coming centuries, according to a review of all the latest ...

A new 30-year analysis reveals that melting land ice is now the main force behind rising global sea levels. Researchers discovered that oceans rose about 90 millimeters since 1993, with most of the ...

The Gulf Research Program's Gulf Sea Level Variation and Rise Grants aim to invest in research that significantly advances understanding of the regional components of Gulf sea-level variation and rise ...

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 ...

LOWCOUNTRY, S.C. (WCIV) — Here in the Lowcountry, we are surrounded by water. At least half of Charleston is made up of marshes, creeks and coastal waters. But lately, water seems to be creeping up ...
