Global warming has raised global sea level about 8 inches since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges. A Climate…
New elevation data show that by midcentury frequent coastal flooding will rise higher than areas currently home to hundreds of millions of people

As a result of heat-trapping…
Manmade sea walls and the effects of climate change eating away at Stockton beach, and locals are rallying to save it.
Noel Burns started work on Stockton beach as a council lifeguard in 1971 and…
The new Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report has warned of extreme sea level rise by 2050.
The latest IPCC report ‘Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate’ highlights the damaging…
The damage caused by catastrophic “superstorms” combined with rising sea levels could increase by a hundred-fold or more, displacing hundreds of millions of people from coastlines around the world…
Sea-level rises pose increasing peril to small island nations and at-risk coastal communities but will also significantly impact the world's largest economies.
Ahead of the publication of a landmark…
Oceanographer Josh Willis from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory narrates this video about the causes of sea level rise and how sea level has changed over the last two decades as observed by the Jason…
A new study has found that the ocean has absorbed more than 90 per cent of the heat gained by the planet between 1971 and 2010.
The process of the ocean absorbing this heat leads to increase in…
Is our planet approaching a climate change cliff edge? Across the world, from the forests to the oceans, the consequences of humanity’s activities are being felt – and the effects could be…
As part of our Stormproofing the City series, Klaus Jacob, who predicted the devastation wrought by 2012 storm, tells Lilah Raptopoulos why city planners could be making things worse, not better, for…
Scientists believe that global sea levels could rise far more than predicted, due to accelerating melting in Greenland and Antarctica.
The long-held view has been that the world's seas would rise by…
Global surface temperatures in 2019 are on track to be either the second or third warmest since records began in the mid-1800s, behind only 2016 and possibly 2017.
On top of the long-term warming…
When we think of climate change, one of the first things to come to mind is melting polar ice. However, ice loss isn’t just restricted to the polar regions. According to research published today,…
The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) report argues that the financial and physical impacts of climate change are accelerating.
The 25th edition of the WMO’s Statement on the State of the…
A new study has found that coastal wetlands play an important role in reducing the effects of climate change.
The study, a collaboration between global universities, including the University of…
A new study looking at variations in past sea ice cover in the Norwegian Sea found the shrinkage and growth of ice was instrumental in several abrupt climate changes between 32,000 and 40,000 years…
A 660-square-kilometre iceberg roughly twice the size of New York City is about to break away from the Brunt ice shelf in Antarctica, risking further instability in a region that is expected to add…
The Earth’s surface is 70 percent water, but even that underestimates how vital ocean health is to our planet’s ability to maintain life. Recent results from scientists around the world only further…
