Research from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution finds the rate of U.S. coastal sea level rise has more than doubled in ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period, a study ...

When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.

Scientists have built the most detailed 3D models yet of temperatures deep beneath Greenland. The results reveal uneven heat ...

(THE CONVERSATION) When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from ...

Sea levels along the United States coast are rising faster than they did in the past, and the change is not subtle.

Samples drilled from deep beneath the sea have revealed just how much global sea levels changed following the last ice age. Melting ice caps in North America, Antarctica and Europe caused sea levels ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...
