The NZ SeaRise program, a five-year research program funded by the government, brings together 30 local and international experts from universities and research institutes to improve projections of sea-level rise in New Zealand. On Monday, the program released location-specific sea-level rise projec...
By E.B. FURGURSON III Staff Writer Sea level rise related to global warming likely will inundate land, alter wetlands and devastate wildlife around the Chesapeake Bay region by the end of the century, according to a recent report by the National Wildlife Federation.E.B. FURGURSON III Staff ...

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. The rise in ocean height in the n...

NASA’s Sea Level Change Team, led by Hamlington, has also developed an online mapping tool to visualize the report’s state-of-the-art sea level rise projections on a localized level across the U.S. “The hope is that the online tool will help make the information as widely accessible...
Sea level rise has accelerated during recent decades, exceeding rates recorded during the previous two millennia, and as a result many coastal habitats and species around the globe are being impacted. This situation is expected to worsen due to anthropogenically induced climate change. However, the ...
