New research led by Griffith University has determined that more than 43% of Queensland's current productive aquaculture sites are expected to be impacted by sea level rise.

The world is currently on course for roughly 2.9°C of warming by 2100. That would lead to the loss of both the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, says Jonathan Bamber at the University of ...

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.

This thermal expansion is one of the main contributors to rising sea levels. Around Australia, sea levels have risen 22 centimetres since 1900 – with half of that since 1970.

Average global sea levels have risen roughly 8-9 inches since 1880, and the rate of sea level rise more than doubled from the 20th century to the early stages of the 21st century, according to NOAA.
