Scientists prepare to issue sea-level rise forecasts for North Carolina coastline

Charlotte Observer: North Carolina scientists mapping future sea-level rise will have their last public meeting Monday before the group issues its much-anticipated projections this month to prepare coastal residents for increased flooding and more violent storm surges. The science panels report will be the first of its kind in the nation. Rather than providing a single sea-level rise forecast for the states entire coastline, the scientists will issue separate projections for four different geographic zones within...

Sea-level rise impacts man-made issues in bays
2014-12-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Delmarva Now: The work required to monitor environmental concerns at the Burton Island ash disposal site in the Indian River Bay can serve as a lesson in caution, Center for the Inland Bays Executive Director Chris Bason said. "The resources needed for that are crazy, which to me says we should just be careful about what we do to the environment, otherwise it's so much time fixing the problem. It's the same thing with building near the water," Bason said. At a recent Citizens Advisory Committee meeting Bason...

White House environmental expert sees hope amid sea-level rise

WLRN: What are the real threats of climate change to this region? Earlier this year, hundreds of scientists put out what is the most comprehensive summary of climate impacts in this country, something called national climate assessment. It looked at impacts nationwide but it also drilled down region by region, and what it said about the Southeast, in particular about Florida, is that climate change is leading to sea-level rise -- to greater storm surges and to greater frequency and intensity of major...
Sea-level surge at Antarctica linked to icesheet loss
2014-08-31 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Sea levels around Antarctica have been rising a third faster than the global average, a clear sign of high meltwater runoff from the continent's icesheet, scientists said on Sunday. Satellite data from 1992 to 2011 found the sea surface around Antarctica's coast rose by around eight centimetres (3.2 inches) in total compared to a rise of six cm for the average of the world's oceans, they said. The local increase is accompanied by a fall in salinity at the sea surface, as detected by research...

We cant delay the fight against sea-level rise
2014-08-30 18:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Miami Herald: Regardless of its cause, sea-level rise is the inevitable, non-debatable consequence of the warming of the oceans and the melting of the planet's ice sheets. It is a measurable, trackable and relentless reality. Without innovative adaptive capital planning, it will threaten trillions of dollars of the region's built environment, our future water supply, unique natural resources, agricultural soils and basic economy. Without such a plan, we invite escalating insurance rates, at best, and risk our...
