Overuse has created zones of “mega-drying” around the world — and caused more sea level rise than Greenland’s ice sheet.

For billions of years, the Earth has been undergoing a fascinating process that can be compared to drinking water. This ...

Overpumping groundwater, worsening droughts and more rapid evaporation due to higher temperatures have caused a drastic ...

That all means that the precise predictions of 2100 sea level rise in this study may not be accurate—it’s the fact that they found such variation from ocean eddies alone that’s most significant.

Climate-caused sea level rise is threatening coastlines in Canada. Caught in the squeeze are juvenile salmon, who depend on estuaries to survive. Now scientists and First Nations on Vancouver ...

However, as coastal inhabitants are preferentially located in subsiding locations, they experience an average relative sea-level rise up to four times faster at 7.8 to 9.9 mm per year.” ...

Ocean warming off Antarctica could trigger rapid sea-level rise Mario PicazoMeteorologist, PhD Published on Feb. 21, 2020, 7:17 PM Updated on Feb. 22, 2020, 5:10 PM ...

The study also corrects long-standing errors in the satellite record of sea levels, finding that the global mean rate of sea level rise between 1993 and mid-2014 is between 2.6 and 2.9 millimetres ...

And Greenland isn’t the only concern — Antarctica contains a vast amount of ice that, if emptied entirely into the ocean, would cause 80 meters of sea level rise.

Could sea levels really rise by several metres this century. Probably not, although this century’s greenhouse emissions could potentially set the stage for large rises in centuries to come.
