Global coastal sea levels are on average 1 foot higher than previously assumed, a new report finds, raising alarms the world is underestimating how much land and how many people will be affected by ...

A new study published in Nature has found that sea levels along the world’s coastlines are already significantly higher than the majority of scientific assessments have assumed. The finding, which ...

Sea levels are rising faster than in 4,000 years, putting some of the world's largest cities at growing risk of flooding and sinking.

A new study found that many of our predictions on sea-level rise have been predicated on inaccurate starting numbers. In many ...

A lot of past research has used flawed methodology to estimate current coastal water levels, according to a new study ...

After analyzing 385 studies related to coastal areas and sea level rise, scientists found a significant discrepancy between geoid measurements and actual sea levels, especially in the global south.

An El Niño event combined with other weather phenomena led to record level sea rise in African oceans during 2023 and 2024.

A systematic review of nearly 400 coastal hazard studies has found that the vast majority relied on flawed assumptions about where sea level actually sits, leading to significant underestimates of ...

Researchers found that a majority of studies on coastal sea levels underestimated how high water levels are, and hundreds of millions of people are closer to peril than previously thought.

For around 2,000 years, global sea levels varied little. That changed in the 20th century. They started rising and have not stopped since — and the pace is accelerating. Scientists are scrambling to ...

In 2024, the hottest year in recorded history, sea levels rose at a rate 35% more than expected, according to a new report from NASA. The space agency explained on its website that the acceleration of ...

A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot.
