A new interactive map that allows users to explore changes in sea level worldwide over five decades has been launched by the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level, operated by the UK's National Oceanography Center.

 | Melting ice sheets contributed much more to rising sea levels than thermal expansion of warming ocean waters during the Last Interglacial Period, a team led by scientists at the University of Arizona has found. The results further suggest that ocean levels continue to rise long after warming of the atmosphere levels off. ...> Full Article |
Large, marine-calving glaciers have the ability not only to shrink rapidly in response to global warming, but to grow at a remarkable pace during periods of global cooling, according to University at Buffalo geologists working in Greenland.

Fresh research into glaciers could help scientists better predict the impact of changing climates on global sea levels.

An international research team including University of Pennsylvania scientists has shown that the rate of sea-level rise along the US Atlantic coast is greater now than at any time in the past 2,000 years and that there is a consistent link between changes in global mean surface temperature and sea level.

 | Melting glaciers and ice caps on Canadian Arctic islands play a much greater role in sea level rise than scientists previously thought, according to a new study led by a University of Michigan researcher. ...> Full Article |
 | A study of sea-level trends by researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science brings both good and bad news to localities concerned with coastal inundation and flooding along the shores of Chesapeake Bay. ...> Full Article |
Southampton researchers have estimated that sea-level rose by an average of about 1 meter per century at the end of the last Ice Age, interrupted by rapid "jumps" during which it rose by up to 2.5 meters per century. The findings, published in Global and Planetary Change, will help unravel the responses of ocean circulation and climate to large inputs of ice-sheet meltwater to the world ocean.

 | Sea levels around the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic have risen since the mid nineteenth century and the rate of sea-level rise has accelerated over recent decades, according to newly published research. The findings are as expected under global warming and consistent with observations elsewhere around the globe. ...> Full Article |
 | Newly detected rising sea levels in parts of the Indian Ocean, including the coastlines of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, Sri Lanka, Sumatra and Java, appear to be at least partly a result of human-induced increases of atmospheric greenhouse gases, says a study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder. ...> Full Article |
 | Theories about the rates of ice accumulation and melting during the Quaternary Period -- the time interval ranging from 2.6 million years ago to the present -- may need to be revised, thanks to research findings published by a University of Iowa researcher and his colleagues in the February 12 issue of the journal Science. ...> Full Article |
 | The sea level in Israel has been rising and falling over the past 2,500 years, with a one-meter difference between the highest and lowest levels. This has been shown in a new study supervised by Dr. Dorit Sivan, head of the department of maritime civilizations at the University of Haifa. "Rises and falls in sea level over relatively short periods do not testify to a long-term trend," Dr. Sivan explains. ...> Full Article |
 | Sea-level rise along the Atlantic Coast of the United States was 2 mm faster in the 20th century than at any time in the past 4,000 years. ...> Full Article |
 | Motorway-sized troughs and channels carved into Antarctica's continental shelves by glaciers thousands of years ago could help scientists to predict future sea-level rise according to a report in the journal Geology this month. ...> Full Article |
The oceans epic ebbs and flows of sea level and sediment over the course of geologic time, that is the primary cause of the world's periodic mass extinctions during the past 500 million years

Global sea level has been climbing steadily over the past 80 years-and the contribution from melting ice has been more substantial than previously estimated, according to new research in Science Express.
...> Full Article
 | A University of Colorado at Boulder study indicates meltwater periodically overwhelms the interior drainpipes of Alaska's Kennicott Glacier and causes it to lurch forward, similar to processes that may help explain the acceleration of glaciers observed recently on the Greenland ice sheet that are contributing to global sea rise. ...> Full Article |
 | A University of Alberta Arctic ice researcher is closing in on some real understanding about the process that might be feeding rising sea levels. ...> Full Article |
