Anatomy of a global sea level event during the hot greenhouse climate of the dinosaur age

2017-01-12 23:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] Global sea level change has generally been considered to be a consequence of the growth and decay of continental ice sheets, which would explain large, rapid changes in sea level, even during the extensive periods of global climatic warmth that prevailed during the age of the dinosaurs. However, such a mechanism is difficult to envision during times of the most extreme global warmth such as the Turonian (93.9-89.8 million years ago), when the equator-to-pole temperature gradient was v…

This represents a stark contrast to the previous decade, when the region experienced very little sea level rise at all. The science team led by Philip Thompson, associate director of the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), analyzed two and a half decades of ocean surface...

Sea level rise is already driving people from the Marshall Islands

Guardian: There may be music in the roar of the sea, as Byron eulogized, but the waves can also bring creeping unease. On low-lying fragments of land like the Marshall Islands, the tides are threatening to take away what they previously helped support: life. Hilda Heine surveys the latest temporary sea wall that cleaves her property from the waves. It has been knocked down twice since February by floods and she frets about her plants that will probably face a salty demise. Her vista would, sadly, be...

Sea level rise is here and threatens the US naval bases around the world

New York Times: Huge vertical rulers are sprouting beside low spots in the streets here, so people can judge if the tidal floods that increasingly inundate their roads are too deep to drive through. Five hundred miles down the Atlantic Coast, the only road to Tybee Island, Ga., is disappearing beneath the sea several times a year, cutting the town off from the mainland. And another 500 miles on, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., increased tidal flooding is forcing the city to spend millions fixing battered roads and...
