Rob DeConto and his research group of postdocs and grad students study polar climate change, the role of glaciers and ice sheets in past and future sea-level change, and the impacts of sea-level rise ...
When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...
Live Science spoke with sea level expert Sönke Dangendorf about how human-caused sea-level rise is increasing extreme ...
Sea level rise — mostly due to glacial melt largely caused by anthropogenic climate change — has been a hot button topic for the past half century. But historically defining the basic parameters of ...
A new analysis of ancient layers of peat at the bottom of the North Sea will help scientists more accurately project how much sea level will rise in the coming decades and centuries. The research ...
