Scientists say that hidden melting beneath Antarctica’s ice could rapidly reshape sea levels, but they do not know when.

The year 2025 was the warmest on record for the heat content of the world’s oceans. Ocean heat content (OHC) increased by around 500 zettajoules – billion trillion joules – since the 1940s.

The latest sea-level rise "report cards" by Virginia researchers show that ocean levels are continuing to rise and in some cases, including along the North Carolina coast, are speeding up. Data ...

Global average sea level is increasing due to melting land ice and expansion of warming seawater, both caused by global warming. Sea level has been measured regularly since the 19th century using ...

Ancient shorelines, buried peat and rocks locked beneath Greenland’s ice are all pointing in the same direction: when the ...

Fossil coral exposed in a limestone outcrop above present sea level in the Seychelles. Newly uncovered evidence from fossil corals suggests that sea levels could rise even more steeply in our warming ...
