Report warns of sea level rise in Maryland

2013-08-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

SoMd News: Although a new report suggests the sea level might rise as much as 2 feet by 2050, the change might not have an effect on Charles County. New research from a University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science study that was released last month indicates that the water could rise 2 feet along Marylands shoreline by that time, and nearly 4 feet within a century from now. The report, which said sea level rise has occurred more quickly in the mid-Atlantic region than anywhere else along the Atlantic...

Study: Sea level rise could impact Wilmington in next few decades

2013-08-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Wway: Rising temperatures worldwide could soon lead to rising tides in and around the Port City. A recent study by the National Academy of Sciences says sea level is on the rise and unless we change the way we do things today there may not be a way to stop it. If the computer models are correct, the Wilmington riverfront could by underwater as soon as 2030. "The evidence is in our face," said Mike Giles of the NC Coastal Federeation. "What we're facing here in Wilmington is the loss of homes, business,...

Sea Level Rise Locking In Quickly, Cities Threatened

2013-07-30 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: Measurements tell us that global average sea level is currently rising by about 1 inch per decade. But in an invisible shadow process, our long-term sea level rise commitment or "lock-in" the sea level rise we dont see now, but which carbon emissions and warming have locked in for later years is growing 10 times faster, and this growth rate is accelerating. An international team of scientists led by Anders Levermann recently published a study that found for every degree Fahrenheit of global...

Ancient ice melt unearthed in Antarctic mud: 20 meter sea level rise, five million years ago

2013-07-22 03:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Global warming five million years ago may have caused parts of Antarctica's large ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise by approximately 20 metres, scientists report today in the journal Nature Geoscience. The researchers, from Imperial College London, and their academic partners studied mud samples to learn about ancient melting of the East Antarctic ice sheet. They discovered that melting took place repeatedly between five and three million years ago, during a geological period called Pliocene...

Study: Long-term sea level rise is inevitable

2013-07-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Summit Voice: Sea level rise is here to stay, according to researchers with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, who recently published a study combining evidence from early Earths climate history with comprehensive computer simulations using physical models of all four major contributors to long-term global sea-level rise. The results show a slow but inexorable rise -- less than six feet by the end of this century -- but the rate will increase as melting Antarctic and Greenland ice become bigger...
