Love the Chesapeake Bay? Great! Because there will be more of it! Nearly 200 square miles on the Maryland coast alone! A 3-foot increase in the Chesapeake water level later this century will be a boon to the oystering industry, says a new report on climate change commissioned by Maryland governor Martin O’Malley. The report […]

Global airport operators, faced with rising sea levels and more powerful storms as the climate changes, are starting to invest in measures including higher runways, seawalls and better drainage systems to future-proof immovable assets.

Poland-based Wojciech Morsztyn designed the Ocean Community, an ocean-based domestic habitat (I'd call it a yacht, but that wouldn't really be accurate)

Global warming is no joke, and with climate change becoming a reality, and sea levels steadily rising, there may come a time when floating structures may be the

Rising sea levels mean that Lennox Island has lost more than 400 acres in just a few generations. Now its First Nations community wonders if it has a future

PRICES MAY VARY. ** Paperback - 110 Pages - Printed in Full Color ** Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States: Updated Mean Projections and Extreme Water Level Probabilities Along U.S. Coastlines Sea level rise driven by global climate change is a clear and present risk to the United States today and for the coming decades and centuries. Sea levels will continue to rise due to the ocean’s sustained response to the warming that has already occurred—even if climate change mitigation succeeds in limiting surface air temperatures in the coming decades. Tens of millions of people in the United States already live in areas at risk of coastal flooding, with more moving to the coasts every year. Rising sea levels and land subsidence are combining, and will continue to combine, with other coastal flood factors, such as storm surge, wave effects, rising coastal water tables, river flows, and rainfall, some of whose characteristics are also undergoing climate-related changes. The net result will be a dramatic increase in the exposure and vulnerability of this growing population, as well as the critical infrastructure related to transportation, water, energy, trade, military readiness, and coastal ecosystems and the supporting services they provide. Global mean sea level (GMSL) rise is a direct effect of climate change, resulting from a combination of thermal expansion of warming ocean waters and the addition of water mass into the ocean, largely associated with the loss of ice from glaciers and ice sheets. These processes are well understood for the recent past, and their contributions have been estimated for the 20th century. With regard to increasing sea levels associated with climate change, the questions are when and how much, rather than if. Increases in GMSL provide an important indicator of the changing climate, but it is the sea level rise on local and regional scales—measured by the global network of tide gauges and satellites—that is most relevant for coastal communities around the world. This report and accompanying datasets from the U.S. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force provide: 1) sea level rise scenarios to 2150 by decade that include estimates of vertical land motion and 2) a set of extreme water level probabilities for various heights along the U.S. coastline. These data are available at 1-degree grids along the U.S. coastline and downscaled specifically at NOAA tide-gauge locations. Estimates of flood exposure are assessed using contemporary U.S. coastal flood-severity thresholds for current conditions (e.g., sea levels and infrastructure footprint) and for the next 30 years (out to year 2050), assuming no additional risk reduction measures are enacted. ONE of the key messages in this report: "By 2050, the expected relative sea level (RSL) will cause tide and storm surge heights to increase and will lead to a shift in U.S. coastal flood regimes, with major and moderate high tide flood events occurring as frequently as moderate and minor high tide flood events occur today. Without additional risk-reduction measures, U.S. coastal infrastructure, communities, and ecosystems will face significant consequences." Obviously, this issue is of major concern and needs our attention. Please get your copy of this report now and start understanding the full impact of what is coming!

Global warming is no joke, and with climate change becoming a reality, and sea levels steadily rising, there may come a time when floating structures may be the only kind of architecture that can exist. We will have to make the shift from land to water, but hopefully not anytime soon. And architects are taking

Nicky Woo has won the Marilyn Stafford award 2020 with her project As the Water Comes, documenting the effects of rising sea levels in northern Senegal

New visualizations show how popular sites across the world, including Canada's H.R. MacMillan Space Centre and B.C.'s Fisherman's Wharf Park, could be lost to rising sea levels if carbon emissions continue at their current rate.

A Cambridge climate expert has warned Ely will become an island again under current estimates for rising sea levels.

Global warming has raised global sea level about 8" since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges.

Water floods through cities along coastlines and islands all around the world. And the rising water has already started pushing people from their homes. What on Earth is causing these rising seas?

As coastal development along the Gulf Coast continues to expand, tidal saline wetlands could have difficulty adjusting to rising sea levels.

Rapid collapse of Antarctic glaciers could flood coastal cities by the end of this century.

Sea levels around the world are rising as a result of human-caused global warming.      Overall, global sea levels have risen about 10 centimeters from 1993 to 2023, as seen in this animation.      However, sea levels are also rising at an accelerating rate. Right now, global sea level rises about 0.17 inches (0.42 centimeters) per year. For comparison, the 1993 rate was 0.07 inches (0.13 centimeters) per year. 👍 Follow @yourplanet.earth for more  🙏 Turn on notifications for future updates
