Large estuaries are threatened by sediment starvation and therefore loss of intertidal area, particularly if tidal amplitude decreases at the mouth. In contrast, small estuaries face enhanced flood risks and are more sensitive to tidal amplification on sea-level-rise-induced deepening. Estuary widening...
Sea level rise and its impacts in the coastal zones is a question of growing interest in the scientific community, as well as the media and the public. In effect with extreme events (e.g., floods, ...
It's more than a little ironic that the world is running out of fresh water while, at the same time, being overrun by rising sea levels.
Flooding will also become more frequent, the researchers found. "For most of the world, flooding associated with a present day, 1-in -100-year event could occur as frequently as once in 10 years, primarily as a result of sea level rise," Young said. ...

As glaciers collapse toward the sea, scientists struggle to figure out how fast the southern continent is melting and what that means for sea-level rise
It adds to the existing lineup of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans, which National Geographic has been mapping since 1915. SEE ALSO: Ocean warming off Antarctica could trigger rapid sea-level rise Before the acknowledgment, there was a discussion among geographe...
Map of World's Largest Volcanoes: This map shows the locations of the world's largest volcanoes. Tamu Massif on the Shatsky Rise in the northwest Pacific Ocean has the greatest mass and the largest footprint. Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii has the greatest height from base to summit....
