Sea Level Changes Caused Earth's Oldest Sea Turtles Become Extinct
2015-03-19 22:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Changes in sea level reportedly caused Earth's oldest sea turtles to become extinct, providing insight into what could possibly happen to modern-day turtles battling climate change-related sea level rise. Little is known about the earliest sea turtle species that inhabited Earth millions of years ago. Although, in 2009 scientists discovered the remains of Hispaniachelys prebetica - supposedly the oldest sea turtle in southern Europe - in the Baetic Cordillera, in Jaén. They thought they had...
Environmentally friendly levee protect against sea level rise

Contra costa Times: What are now seedlings will play a key role in an experiment that could be an environmental triple win -- improving water quality and protecting against sea level rise while providing wildlife habitat. An army of volunteers will plant more than 70,000 native plants next fall on a first-of-its-kind ecotone levee and wetland basin. The levee and basin will be built on a vacant field near the Oro Loma Sanitary District wastewater treatment plant. Treated wastewater will flow into the basin and...
Sea level jumps 5 inches. Probably nothing worry about

Grist: Climate change is a disaster in slow-motion: The global temperature creeps up by fractions-of-a-degree each year, the seas rise inches every decade. Except, apparently, when they do much more. Exhibit A: In just two years, 2009 and 2010, sea levels along the Atlantic coast north of New York City jumped up by more than 5 inches, according to a paper published this week in the journal Nature Communications. That might not seem like much on its own, but consider that, according to the latest report...
New York City Set for Major Sea Level Rise By 2050s, Report Concludes
2015-02-19 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The waters surrounding New York City are on track to rise 11 to 21 inches by the 2050s, according to an analysis based on NASA climate change models. The city's average temperature, which has increased by 3.4 degrees F since 1900, is set to rise another 5 degrees F by the 2050s, the report says, and annual precipitation is also likely to rise significantly over that period. New York City has already seen sea levels rise by over 1 foot since 1900 nearly twice the average global rate, according to...
Earthquakes Rattling Glaciers, Boosting Sea Level Rise
2015-01-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Glacier Hub: Talk of earthquakes likely calls to mind giant fissures opening up along the earths crust, the trembling of rock, buildings crumbling to their knees and, depending on your age and cast of mind, the love of Superman for Lois Lane. But it does not likely conjure up images of giant tongues of sliding ice or the splash of calving icebergs. And yet it should. Most earthquakes are generated by the friction produced by two bodies of rock rapidly sliding past each other on a fault in the Earths crust,...
