Ice losses from Antarctica have tripled since 2012, increasing global sea levels by 0.12 inch in that timeframe alone, according to a new study by NASA and the European Space Agency. The study showed that ice losses from Antarctica are causing sea levels to rise faster today than at any time in the past 25 years. 

In an innovative study, scientists have combined a number of NASA satellite observations of Earth with data on human activities to map locations where freshwater is changing around the globe and to determine why. The study, published in the journal Nature, finds that Earth’s wet land areas are getting wetter and dry areas are getting drier.

The US port of San Diego has formally agreed to coordinate with the US Navy to prepare for potential impacts of sea level rise. At its meeting on 8 May, the Board of Commissioners authorized a Memorandum of Agreement with Commander Navy Region Southwest, the first of its kind between the US navy and a West Coast port.

According to a new study, published in Science Advances, sea-level rise and wave-driven flooding will negatively impact freshwater resources on many low-lying atoll islands in such a way that many could be uninhabitable in just a few decades. Scientists found that such flooding will also make the limited freshwater resources non-potable.

A study of satellite data from the last 19 years has revealed that fresh water from melting glaciers has caused the sea-level around the coast of Antarctica

NOAA scientists and partners are launching a number of new unmanned aircraft and water vehicles to collect weather information to improve hurricane forecasts

NOC have secured a three-year contract with ESA to carry out quality control' checks on ocean data captured by one of its satellites

In 2013, the research team returned to Sermilik Fjord to find that a large passing iceberg had pushed down the SF1 mooring's top float to depths

Climate indicators-greenhouse gases, sea levels, global temperatures, etc.-continued to reflect trends of a warmer planet, according to the State of the Climate in 2013 report

Scientists have developed a new method for revealing how sea levels might rise around the world throughout the 21st century to address the controversial topic of whether the rate of sea level rise is currently increasing.
