Antarctica's Ice Discharge Major Contributor to Sea Level Rise
2014-08-15 00:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Antarctica's ice discharge could become a major contributor to the global sea level rise within this century, adding up to an extra 37 centimeters, which is more so than previously thought, according to a new study. "If greenhouse gases continue to rise as before, ice discharge from Antarctica could raise the global ocean by an additional one to 37 centimeters in this century already," lead author Anders Levermann, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, said in a statement. "Now...
Antarctica's ice discharge could raise sea level faster than previously thought

ScienceDaily: Ice discharge from Antarctica could contribute up to 37 centimeters to the global sea level rise within this century, a new study shows. For the first time, an international team of scientists provide a comprehensive estimate on the full range of Antarctica's potential contribution to global sea level rise based on physical computer simulations. Led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the study combines a whole set of state-of-the-art climate models and observational data with various...

US east coast hit hardest 'nuisance flooding' amid sea level rise from climate change
2014-07-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: The U.S. East Coast is bearing the brunt of the rise in nuisance flooding minor events that shut down roads and clog storm drains but arent particularly dangerous. Such floods have increased by more than fivefold in the past 50 years as coastal sea levels rise because of climate change, federal scientists say. Of the top 10 U.S. cities to see more nuisance flooding, eight are on the Atlantic. Maryland has suffered the most, with two cities Annapolis and Baltimore experiencing more than...
Human activity causing sea level rise beyond natural changes
2014-07-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: New research confirms that human activity is causing sea levels to rise beyond natural fluctuation. A Colorado University study is the first to take Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the natural rise and fall in sea levels over time, into consideration and study has found Pacific sea levels are rising consistently beyond this naturally occurring phenomenon. "Our new study shows that once you estimate [PDO] and remove it, you're still left with sea level rise in that region that is not a result...

Team finds sea level rise in western tropical Pacific anthropogenic
2014-07-20 12:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: A new study led by Old Dominion University and the University of Colorado Boulder indicates sea levels likely will continue to rise in the tropical Pacific Ocean off the coasts of the Philippines and northeastern Australia as humans continue to alter the climate. The study authors combined past sea level data gathered from both satellite altimeters and traditional tide gauges as part of the study. The goal was to find out how much a naturally occurring climate phenomenon called the Pacific Decadal...
