National Public Radio: The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releases its latest assessment today. This is the fifth since 1990. The reports project the rate of global warming, sea level rise and other expected effects that result largely from our use of fossil fuels, which puts billions of additional tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year.
Future sea level rises should not restrict new island formation in the Maldives

ScienceDaily: The continued accumulation of sand within the iconic ring-shaped reefs inside Maldivian atolls could provide a foundation for future island development new research suggests. Islands like the Maldives are considered likely to be the first to feel the effects of climate change induced sea level rise, with future island growth essential to counter the threat of rising sea levels. The study published in the journal Geology, and carried out by researchers from the University of Exeter in collaboration...

Financial Times: Cities along the US east coast face a looming sea level rise crisis from a growing number of disasters as severe as hurricane Sandy, according to research on links between extreme weather and climate change. Human-made global warming was a factor in at least six intense weather events last year, the study shows, from the superstorm that hit New York in October to the record melting of the Arctic and US heatwaves. Climate change also had a role in Spains drought and torrential New Zealand rains,...
Sea Level Rise Driving Shoreline Changes in Hawaii

Nature World: Sea level rise (SLR) is a primary factor driving historical shoreline changes in Hawaii, according to a new study. The global annual SLR average over the last century was roughly 2 millimeters, with previous studies indicating that this rate is now approaching 3 millimeters and may accelerate in coming decades, according to the researchers. These changes, according to the new report, are playing a significant factor in historical shoreline change in Hawaii and will likely only become increasingly...
