A newNASAsea level simulator lets you bury Alaska’s Columbia glacier in snow, and, year by year, watch how it responds. Or you can melt the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and trace rising seas as they inundate the Florida coast. Computer models are critical tools for understan...

Modeled total water levels—which include the influence of tides, waves, and storm surge—increase non-linearly with rising sea level and more extreme wave conditions because sea-level rise allows for larger waves to propagate across the reefs (Figs.4and5). With present-day bathymetry, this wav...
Bangkok is already 'largely under sea level' and monsoon season often brings flooding to the Thai capital Making things worse, the canals which used to traverse the city have now been replaced by intricate road networks, said Suppakorn Chinvanno, a climate expert at Chulalongkorn University in B...
Since the LGM, the earth's climate system has experienced a continuous increase of surface temperature and rising sea level. Given a sufficient supply of methane and a transport system, hydrates may form in marine sediments if sea level rises or melt if the temperature increases. A one-...
1b, c). The ice-sheet surface elevation on the coastal side of Gjelsvikfjella is ~1000 meters above sea level (m a.s.l.), rising as high as ~2500 m a.s.l. on the inland side, forming a mountain escarpment in the Jutulstraumen catchment. Depositional and erosional glacial ...

to quantify the influence of Nordic Seas’ sea-ice cover on Fennoscandian Ice Sheet growth we use the BErgen Snow SImulator (BESSI). This surface mass balance (SMB) model is used to compute the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet SMB in two different hypothesized scenarios where (i) the Nordic Seas...
SEE ALSO:Sea level is now rising at its fastest rate in nearly 3,000 years In the study, researchers from Georgia Tech collected hundreds of the tiny mollusks from the Pacific Ocean and used high-speed cameras to record their movement, seeking to figure out precisely how and why the sea ...
A couple of other real quick things before we go, I want to call out that speaking of games that continue to evolve, Microsoft Flight Simulator has had its third world update; you had Japan, I believe you had the US and now UK and Ireland which by the time you've read this, it's...
