The U.S. coastline will see the highest sea level rise in the next 30 years, according to a recent U.S. government report. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and six other federal agencies say that sea levels will increase up to 30 centimeters (12 inches) highe...
NASA scientists say the satellites that helped them track past patterns of sea level change will also help forecast future patterns. NASA scientists predict sea levels will rise over the next 10 years on the US west coast even as they fall on China’s east coast. Josh Willis on the rising ...
Rising Waters and Coastal Floods: Living with Sea Level Rise in NYC, Part 1/2 Posted onMay 24, 2011bySeaAndSkyNY [This is the first of a pair of guest blog posts from Dr. Vivien Gornitz, a geologist and special research scientist with the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and ...
Coastal flooding will increase significantly over the next 30 years because of sea level rise, according to the report by an interagency sea level rise task force that includes NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other federal agencies. ...
Tuvalu, whose mean elevation is just 2 m (6.56 ft), has experienced a sea-level rise of 15 cm (5.91 inches) over the past three decades, one-and-a-half times the global average. By 2050, NASA scientists project that daily tides will submerge half of the main atoll of Funafuti, home...
Sea level rise is generally attributed to increased ocean heat content and increased rates glacier and ice melt. However, human transformations of Earth's surface have impacted water exchange between land, atmosphere, and ocean, ultimately affecting global sea level variations. Impoundment of water in...
LOS ANGELES, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Scientists at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have developed a new model to understand what Antarctica's ice sheet and the future sea level rise will look like centuries from now. ...
MORE: Sea level rise is expected to worsen coastal flooding -- even on sunny days, according to new NOAA report The rate of sea level rise has doubled since 1993, when researchers began taking measurements from satellite images, according toNASA. Anthropogenic, or human-caused, climate change...
empirical fit between a global sea level reconstruction (Church and White 2006) and the global temperature data of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which illustrates that the time evolution of the rate of sea level rise matches the shape of the observed temperature increase....
