As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise News Free Rising land under Antarctica could slow sea level rise ...
A collection of research in sea-level rise published in Nature Communications, covering sea-level variability, ice sheet dynamics and coastal vulnerability.
Anthropogenic modifications can significantly influence the local mean sea level and affect the survival of salt marshes in shallow tidal systems. J. Geophys. Res. Earth Surf. 123, 996–1012 (2018). Google Scholar Temmerman, S. & Kirwan, M. L. Building land with a rising sea. Science ...
The subject of this article is the dilemmas for public international law and intergovernmental cooperation associated with rising sea levels. The initial deliberations offer a brief analysis of the potential scale of rising sea levels in the future. The next part highlights the existing gaps in ...
A review of the geological, environmental and the socio-economic situation of the island, and the record of tropical cyclones since 1911, shows why the local population has become increasingly vulnerable to storm events and rising sea level. Tropical cyclones may form locally in the southwestern ...
Sea level riseis a major indicator of ongoing global change. Sea level has been rising at an average rate of 3.4mm/a since the early 1990s and 3.6mm/a since the mid-2000s. This represents a substantial increase in rate compared with 20th century, for which various studies estimate an ave...
Sea level rise threatens coastal zones through a range of hazards and impacts17including enhancement of episodic, temporary marine flooding due to the effect of rising mean sea level and extreme sea levels associated with storm surge and high tides; permanent submergence of land; groundwater inundati...
Rising sea levels will pose a serious threat to human civilization by inundating not only large expanses of arable land but also some of the world’s largest cities. A study has shown that 300 million people will be affected by sea-level rise: "Approximately 300 million people around the ...
An article on climate change states: "Rising sea levels are threatening many coastal cities." Which of the following is a possible solution? A. Build higher seawalls B. Ignore the problem and hope it goes away C. Move all the people from coastal cities inland D. Stop all human activities...
