Scientists have a good idea how much average sea level will rise by 2050 — around 6 inches globally, and as much as 10 to 12 inches in the US. Past 2050, however, things get very fuzzy.

Oceans last year reached their highest levels in three decades — with the rate of global sea level rise increasing around 35 percent higher than expected, according to a NASA-led analysis ...

Ocean water expands as it warms, researchers said. Climate change was a major driver to an unexpected level of sea level rise in 2024, according to a new NASA analysis. Global sea levels rose 0.23 ...

The last report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published in 2021, predicted 1 to 2 metres of sea level rise over many centuries if the rise in temperature was limited to ...

There are two main reasons why the AMOC affects sea level rise, said David Thornally, professor of ocean and climate science at University College London, who was not involved in the research. A ...

Sea level rise is speeding up in parts of the United States, with Southeastern and Gulf Coast cities showing the most pronounced acceleration. New data released by William & Mary's Batten School ...

Even if the world sustains today’s level of warming, at 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit), it could still trigger rapid ice sheet retreat and catastrophic sea level rise, the ...

Absent protective measures such as sea walls, an additional 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) of sea level rise -- the width of a letter-size sheet of paper -- by 2050 would cause some $1 trillion in ...

Sea level rise will become unmanageable at just 1.5C of global heating and lead to “catastrophic inland migration”, the scientists behind a new study have warned.

The team uses data going back to 1969, and in 1987, scientists found an acceleration in sea-level rise. Compared to levels in the early 1990s, sea levels in Norfolk could rise 1.64 feet by 2050 ...
