Remains of the famous civilization on Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, are at risk of disappearing as climate change leads to coastal erosion.
Using satellite data, researchers say sea levels could rise by half an inch a year by the end of the century, which is double current projections.
Scientists say millions more are at risk of flooding over the decades to come based on climate change already in the pipeline. In order to survive, the time to adapt is now.
Meteorologists warns that the collapse of Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers in Antarctica could flood every coastal city on Earth.
Satellite images taken this past weekend show a new 100-square-mile iceberg emerging from Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier. It’s a troubling sign with regards to future sea level rise.
At least five cities in US are suing five major oil companies, claiming in public nuisance lawsuits that the firms should pay for the infrastructure costs associated with rising sea levels due to climate change.
Dutch engineers are developing a "floating mega island" in preparation for rising sea levels in The Netherlands.
Editing genes, ageing populations, rising sea levels… the world is moving faster than ever. What will those trends mean for our society over the next 30 years?
The results suggest that extreme sea levels will likely occur more frequently than previously predicted, particularly in the west coast regions of the U.S. and in large parts of Europe and Australia.
A 80-mile-long crack along Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf has remained stable since February, but scientists have now detected a new branch, one that’s extending about six miles from the main rift.
April 22 is Earth Day, and while it’s a time to celebrate our planet, it’s also an opportunity to take a look at the serious environmental issues we’re facing.
Researchers estimate that approximately 13.1 million people could be displaced by rising ocean waters.
floods could occur several times a week on average by 2045 along the mid-Atlantic coastline, where seas have been rising faster than nearly anywhere else.
Through warming effects, methane and other gases impact rising seas long after leaving the atmosphere
A new study shows that three of the Amundsen sea’s frozen gateways are melting away faster than we realised, raising the spectre of an ice sheet collapse that could trigger a metre of global sea level rise.
