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?

Planning community resilience to sea level rise (SLR) requires information about where, when, and how SLR hazards will impact the coastal zone. We augment passive flood mapping (the so-called “bathtub” approach) by simulating physical processes posing recurrent threats to coastal infrastructure, co...
Coastal response to anthropogenic climate change is of central importance to the infrastructure and inhabitants in these areas. Despite being globally ubiquitous, the stability of rock coasts has been largely neglected, and the expected acceleration of cliff erosion following sea-level rise has not been...
The rise in ocean height in the next 30 years could equal the total rise seen over the past 100 years, the report projects. The task force developed their near-term sea level rise projections by drawing on an improved understanding of how the processes that contribute to rising seas - such...
Coastal North Carolina will be hit by relative sea rise of as much as 10.6 inches by 2045, according to a draft report released by the North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission. The draft, released March 31, predicts relative sea level rise ranging from 3.5 inches to 10.6 inches, depending...
Sea-level rise is a significant indicator of broader climate changes, and the time of emergence concept can be used to identify when modern rates of sea-level rise emerged above background variability. Yet a range of estimates of the timing persists both
Climate change driven Sea Level Rise (SLR) is creating a major global environmental crisis in coastal ecosystems, however, limited practical solutions are provided to prevent or mitigate the impacts. Here, we propose a novel eco-engineering solution to p
(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 1 - The Venice sea level may rise by as much as 1.2 metres by 2100 as global warming causes global waters to surge, according to the latest study out Wednesday. The study, by the universities of the Salento and Ca' Foscari in Venice, has just come out in the ...
Three key facts about rising sea levels need to be pointed out to the world's politicians and planners: sea-level rise is now unavoidable, it will happen faster than most of us thought, and it will go on for a very long time. Even if greenhouse gas emissions(排放...
