Yet Another Giant Iceberg Has Broken Free From Antarctica

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.

Oil companies sued to pay for cost of rising sea levels, climate change

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 unveil ‘floating island’ to combat rising sea levels

Dutch engineers are developing a "floating mega island" in preparation for rising sea levels in The Netherlands.

Grand challenges we'll face by 2050

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?

Advanced modeling techniques suggest extreme coastal sea levels to occure

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 Second Giant Crack Has Appeared on Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf

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.

Biggest Threats to the Environment - Why We Still Need Earth Day

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.

Migration from sea-level rise could reshape cities inland

Researchers estimate that approximately 13.1 million people could be displaced by rising ocean waters.

Coastal Cities in US Could Flood Three Times a Week by 2045

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.

Short-lived greenhouse gases cause centuries of sea-level rise

Through warming effects, methane and other gases impact rising seas long after leaving the atmosphere

These Antarctic Glaciers Are Melting At A 'Staggering' Rate

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.

Climate change could trigger 'tipping point' for East Antarctic Totten Glacier

The Totten Glacier in East Antarctica has an unstable area that could collapse and contribute to more than two metres of sea level rise beyond what is generally predicted if climate change remains unchecked, researchers say.

Solomon Islands, Site of WW II Fighting, Are Vanishing

Today, the Solomon Islands are fighting a losing battle against climate change and rising sea levels.
