Sea level riseis a major indicator of ongoing global change. Sea level has been rising at a rate of 3.0mma−1or 3.2mma−1since the early 1990s. This represents a substantial increase in rate compared to the period 1901–1990 for which various studies estimate a mean rate of 1.2mma...
While most research in the last decade has focused on understanding the dynamics and impacts of future coastal flooding from extreme sea levels, the effects of relative sea level rise (RSLR) on exacerbating tsunami hazards are not well understood. Far-field or distant sourced tsunamis tend to ...
Seas are predicted to rise a foot by 2050, regardless of how much global carbon emissions can be reduced. Why is this happening, and what can we do to adapt?
According to the team, the breakthrough of this study was to reach resolutions high enough to capture as many of these "speed bumps" as possible and determine their effects in Antarctica while also modeling sea level rise over the entire planet. Antarctica's melting ice sheet is currently resp...
The expected habitat loss rates found in the study areas could have important effects on nesting success since philopatry could lead many individuals to nest on inundated beaches. An unknown variable is the potential for sea turtles to adapt to new scenarios. Therefore, their survivorship will ...
widespread glaciation in the Cretaceous rocks of Gondwana, it is presumed that these sea-level fluctuations were largely driven by changes in the heat flow surrounding mid-ocean ridge systems, causing the ridge systems to swell and contract, with consequent effects on the volume of the deep-ocean...

Much of the United States Atlantic coastline continues to undergo subsidence due to post glacial settlement and ground water depletion. Combined with eustatic sea level rise (SLR), this contributes to an increased rate of relative SLR. In this work, we u
In 2013, a new approach for reducing the need to raise existing levees as sea-level rises, while simultaneously reducing the mass of contaminants discharged by municipal wastewater treatment plants, was designed. This system, which is referred to as the horizontal levee, consists of a sloped ...
