Data they collect measures the sea level rise. "Again it doesn't seem like a lot but if you extended that out over 50-100 years we're talking almost a foot of increase over 100 years," said Molleda. Another concern is the rate at which the sea level is rising which is increasing. ...

The report called for more efforts to prevent marine disasters and mitigate the impacts of rising sea levels. According to an assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the global mean sea level could rise by 2 meters by 2100 and by 5 meters by 2150 under a worse-case scen...
Guo echoes similar remarks, saying that sponge cities “help cities to deal with flooding issues, and enhance the adaptation abilities to sea level rise and flooding,” but makes the point that “to mitigate sea level rise and related impacts relies on the climate mitigation efforts by the stat...
"Unless leaders double down on transitioning away from fossil fuels, the terrible impacts of sea level rise will only increase further—affecting every country with a coastline, including those who continue to obstruct increased decarbonization efforts," warned Kirkham. ...
Using our digital twin technology, we can present the potential impacts of sea-level rise in a highly visual 3D format. It makes our predictions easier for users to understand. And users can of course drill down to the raw data if they need to access a greater level of detail. These qua...
Sea-level rise (SLR) is not just a future trend; it is occurring now in most coastal regions across the globe. It thus impacts not only long-range planning in coastal environments, but also emergency preparedness. Its inevitability and irreversibility on long time scales, in addition to its ...
These areas are directly threatened by flooding and rising sea levels. This could potentially result in property damages, large population displacement, and straining resources and social services. It could also yield vast economic impacts, such as insurance costs, infrastructure damage, and lost...
