I didn’t expect the discrepancy to be so immense,” said Katharina Seeger, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of ...

Measurements of coastal sea-level height around the world may be higher than scientists previously thought, according to new ...

Global coastal sea levels are on average 1 foot higher than previously assumed, a new report finds, raising alarms the world ...

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 ...

Oceans are rising as the climate changes, threatening coastal cities. A new study shows that much more of the world's ...

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.

Many coastal maps start from the wrong sea-level baseline, and correcting the error could mean millions more are vulnerable ...

A new study found that many of our predictions on sea-level rise have been predicated on inaccurate starting numbers. In many places, especially Southeast Asia and the Pacific, it's significantly ...

With a planning target of 20 inches of sea level rise, sea levels are driving changes in zoning, construction and project feasibility.

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.

An analysis of coastal impact assessments revealed that the majority are not based on direct sea-level and land-elevation ...

Standing on the coast and looking out to sea, you cannot detect the changes with the naked eye. But in northern Germany, sea levels are rising, as is the risk of flooding for the lower-lying coastal ...
