Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, ...

A new study published in Nature provides key insights into sea level rise after the last ice age, around 11,700 years ago.

Scientists found that sea levels rose rapidly 11,700 years ago due to melting ice sheets and sudden lake drainage.

NASA data shows global sea levels are rising faster than expected. Most of the rise in 2024 came from ocean warming, not ...

Climate change was a major driver to an unexpected level of sea level rise in 2024, according to a new NASA analysis. Global sea levels rose 0.23 inches in 2024, satellite records show ...

Earth’s oceans rose faster than expected last year as the world experienced its hottest year on record, NASA says. People walk through water in a flooded area affected by rising sea levels and ...

In previous years, two-thirds of sea level rise resulted from meltwater from glaciers and ice sheets, while one-third came from thermal expansion. In 2024, however, those proportions flipped ...

“But in 2024, those contributions flipped, with two-thirds of sea-level rise coming from thermal expansion,” the agency said. The year 2024 was the warmest on record since such record-keeping ...

Ocean levels crept up more quickly than expected last year, according to a NASA team that monitors changes in sea levels from outer space. New analysis from the federal agency said that while global ...
