NASA has launched a satellite into orbit that it says will be able to measure the rise in sea level across 95 per cent of the Earth’s ice-free oceans, and help scientists predict extreme weather ...

Brooke Jarvis considers the history behind the search for sea level, as described in a new book by Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, and probes what it tells us about science, global warming, and life on ...

A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead to 11 feet of sea-level rise, according to scientists who study Antarctica ...

WILLIS: Sea level is continuing to rise, and we can't stop measuring it. Every year, every decade, we're remaking the climate and raising sea levels higher and higher.

Modern tide gauges are one tool scientists use to measure sea level increase, but for that 90-year period, the gauges weren't as sophisticated, and their data was limited. (Video via KQED) ...

While satellites have revolutionized our ability to measure sea level with remarkable precision, their data becomes less reliable near coasts—where accurate information is most urgently needed.

This technology makes it possible to reliably measure sea levels, even in the event of a tsunami or ground movement at the location where the measuring equipment is installed. Current radio wave and ...

The Marin County Health and Human Services "sea level rise vulnerability" dashboard displays flood risk areas on a phone in San Rafael, Calif., on Tuesday, March 19, 2024.

But we measure them relative to the nearest patch of sea, which is where our story becomes complicated. Unlike water in a bath, sea level is not equal around the world.
