Coastal sensitivity to sea level rise has become a major issue in Canada and a nation wide overview published by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1998 demonstrates that there are low, moderate, and high sensitivity regions. Some of the most severely threatened coastal areas in Canada are ...
Regional sea level rise has been regarded a key factor in understanding of climate change impact to coastal communities. As a vulnerable island to sea level rise and storm surges, the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) in Canada lacks sufficient long-term island-wide historic record of sea...
Toronto skyline is seen with floating ice on Lake Ontario in Toronto, Canada. (Xinhua/Zou Zheng) The scientists believe that the Antarctic would now become the biggest factor in sea level rise. BERLIN, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Within this century, ice melting in the Antarctic alone could cause...
The global component confirms that 20th century sea-level rise occurred at the fastest, century-scale rate in over 3000 years (P>0.999). Distinguishing the contributions from local and regional non-linear processes is made challenging by a sparse network of reconstructions. However, only a small ...
The effects of storms and sea-level rise on a coastal forest margin in New Brunswick, eastern Canada Sea-level rise and storms cause a progressive landward shoreline displacement along the coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in eastern Canada. Forest edges e... Robichaud,Begin - 《Journal of...

did terminate in the ocean. Marine-based ice sheets like the BKIS and WAIS have much of their ice-base resting on ground below sea level, with their ice margin terminating in the ocean. This type of ice-sheet may be unstable because a rise in sea level, or thinning of the ice sheet...
SF+200′ sea level rise June 7, 2072 (AP), Northern California Association of City States: The NCCS (Northern California Coast Survey) has updated their baselinetopographic map of the San Francisco Archipelago. It reflects the new coastline resulting from the unexpectedly rapid disintegration of ...
A refined relative sea level (RSL) history spanning the past 14,300 calendar years is described for the Quadra Island area in the northern Strait of Georgia on the Pacific coast of Canada. Here marine shorelines dating to the time of earliest post-glacial emergence are at least 197 m abo...
Mary’s University in Nova Scotia, Canada, has recently demonstrated that the difference in density between the fresh water ice and salt water of the oceans will add a small amount to sea levels when this ice melts. However, the real rise in sea levels comes from ice that is grounded on...
