Scientists say they have finally explained a long-running sea-level rise mystery, tracing nearly all of the ocean's rise over ...

The world’s oceans are rising at an accelerating pace, and scientists now say they can fully explain what’s driving it.

Earth’s oceans are rising at nearly twice the pace seen in the 1960s, fueled by warming water and accelerating ice melt.

New research has revealed that deep ocean warming, at depths beyond 2,000 metres, is contributing significantly to global sea level rise, while separate field experiments in Australia show that warmer ...

The Thwaites Glacier is on the "cusp of collapse", said David Holland, a professor of ocean science at New York University.

Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, a new study suggests. The reason is that warming oceans appear to be melting Antarctic ice shelves from below much more rapidly than ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected. Deep beneath floating ice shelves, long channels carved into the ice appear to ...

Sinking coastal cities are exposing millions of residents to greater flood risks as land subsidence accelerates sea-level ...

A study published in Nature Geoscience found that Antarctic meltwater can reshape ocean currents in ways that accelerate further ice loss. The study, led by University of Maryland scientist Madeleine ...

A recent study published in the Nature Sustainability Journal has concluded that New Orleans has reached a "point of no return" and will be surrounded by the ocean in decades because of the climate ...

Scientists are increasingly concerned that marine heatwaves in the Pacific Ocean will fuel a “super” or “Godzilla” El Niño, disrupting fisheries and ecosystems, and intensifying global climate impacts ...
