It's called the Doomsday Glacier because of its potential to dramatically raise sea levels in places such as Florida, and it has been studied for years as an indicator of human-caused climate change.

The maps here show the world as it ... Compared with other continents, Africa would lose less of its land to the ultimate sea-level catastrophe, but Earth’s rising heat might make much of ...

Global sea level will rise rapidly in the coming century; perhaps by more than 1 meter. This is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (source: IPCC). Submerged peat ...

and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster," said Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a statement. Warming oceans cause sea levels to go up ...

Sarah Kaplan and Bonnie Jo Mount traveled to four islands of the Seychelles and a geochemistry lab in Madison, Wis. to document how fossil corals are helping scientists predict future sea level rise.

which contributed about 10 feet of sea level rise. That was followed by more dramatic melting of ice sheets over Eurasia and West Antarctica, which contributed around 23 and 15 feet respectively.

Last year was the hottest year on record, and now a recent NASA-led analysis shows that 2024 also marked an unexpected increase in sea level rise. While scientists had expected the rate of sea ...
