One prediction of where rising sea levels will end up at Cottesloe Beach, Perth Western Australia.
Global warming can be difficult to visualize. If you're not directly impacted by rising sea levels and future coastal flooding, water shortages, or wildfire
It’s already straining coastal communities. And it’s set to get worse.
The global sea-level rise started around the beginning of the 20th century. From 1900 to 2016, the average sea level on the planet rose by 16–21 centimeters or 6.3–8.3 inches. According to the extreme scenario, an increase in sea level can be presumed as 189 centimeters (6.2 feet) by 2100.

The new report by the UN’s Climate Action Team highlights a number of 'tipping points' that have sparked calls for action "before it is too late"
A new study predicting 10 feet of sea level rise by the century’s end isn’t supported by the mainstream scientific community.
Along the U.S. East Coast, communities are adapting to sea level rise with a promising approach called “living shorelines.” These projects bolster shorelines against stronger storms and higher tides with native plantings and natural materials like driftwood and even holiday trees. Maine Geological Survey coastal geologist Peter Slovinsky joins the Mongabay Newscast to describe several […]
If all the ice covering Antarctica, Greenland (Antarctica would make about 60 meters of sea-level rise, Greenland about 7.4 meters), and in mountain ice caps around the globe were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet) and cover all seaside cities.
A haunting photo exhibit shows the steps people are taking to adapt to the angry ocean.
Long Island could be flooded by sea levels two to four feet higher. See how it would impact your community.
From the southeast coast of the United States to Bangladesh, rising sea levels due to climate change are causing a troubling phenomenon called “saltwater intrusion”.
Sea level rises in the Pacific Ocean are outstripping the global average, a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report showed on Tuesday, imperiling low-lying island states.

Foster teamwork and problem-solving skills with Evan-Moor's STEAM Project-Based Learning workbooks! Designed for Grade 3, these workbooks engage students in exploring current real-world issues and developing strategic solutions. Topics include addressing litter, managing wildfires, supporting small farms, addressing rising sea levels, utilizing therapy objects, and more. Each unit comprises comprehensive activities that provide students with a thorough understanding of the topic before they embark on developing solutions. Every robust unit features a hands-on STEAM task that challenges students to solve a problem using the design process: Problem and Task, Research, Brainstorm and Design, Make It, and Explain It. Career Spotlights and intentional connections with science, technology, engineering, art, and math are integrated into each unit to offer a well-rounded learning experience. By engaging in experimentation and exploration, similar to scientists, engineers, and artists, students will cultivate creative and critical thinking skills essential for navigating future technologies, industries, and careers. Each book includes a STEAM puzzle and a completion certificate. The workbook comprises 128 pages and is available in softcover format.
