New Jersey is likely to see between 2.2 and 3.8 feet of sea-level rise by 2100 if the current level of global carbon emissions continue, but seas could rise by as much as 4.5 feet if ice-sheet melt ...

VIRGINIA, USA — William & Mary, in partnership with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), has released the 2024 U.S. sea level report cards that detail sea level trends and projections.

A systematic review published in Nature finds that roughly 90% of coastal hazard and sea level rise exposure studies contain vertical-datum errors that make baseline water heights appear lower than ...

More than 30 years of satellite measurements confirm that global sea-level projections made in the mid-1990s closely match what has actually occurred, according to Tulane University researchers whose ...

Hawaiʻi's dependence on coastal areas makes it vulnerable to sea-level rise. And thatʻs especially the case on the South ...

Louisiana is one of the lowest and flattest states in the U.S., but what's the lowest point in the state? This area is a number of feet below sea level.

LOWCOUNTRY, S.C. (WCIV) — Here in the Lowcountry, we are surrounded by water. At least half of Charleston is made up of marshes, creeks and coastal waters. But lately, water seems to be creeping up ...
