Melting of the Antarctic ice sheet due to global warming has long-term, irreversible societal impacts with important implications for people around the world. Spatial patterns of sea level change from ...

Sea levels along the United States coast are rising faster than they did in the past, and the change is not subtle.

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 ...

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 ...

Beneath the great, white expanse of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, a mysterious realm of streams and lakes lies out of sight. Much about this hidden water world remains poorly understood. But a new study ...

Sea level rise — mostly due to glacial melt largely caused by anthropogenic climate change — has been a hot button topic for the past half century. But historically defining the basic parameters of ...

A new analysis of ancient layers of peat at the bottom of the North Sea will help scientists more accurately project how much sea level will rise in the coming decades and centuries. The research ...

Ed Gasson receives funding from The Royal Society and the Natural Environment Research Council. When visiting Godrevy beach on the north Cornish coast, most people look out to sea at the lighthouse, ...
