The man who made sea-level rise go away
2013-10-01 14:37:03| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Climate: John Droz Jr. is not the stereotypical back-room political player: A tall and trim 67, bespectacled with a shorn scalp, he's a man who prefers sweater vests and jeans rather than crisp suits and bears more resemblance to a retired high-school science teacher than a political heavyweight. Yet this semi-retired real-estate investor and self-described environmental advocate spends much of his time quietly and effectively plying the halls of power in Raleigh, N.C., deflecting credit and avoiding the...

Sea-level rise happening faster on Maui

Maui TV: Sea-level rise (SLR) has been isolated as a principal cause of coastal erosion in Hawai?i. Differing rates of relative SLR on the islands of O?ahu and Maui remain as the best explanation for the difference in island-wide shoreline trends (that is, beach erosion or accretion) after examining other influences on shoreline change including waves, sediment supply and littoral processes, and anthropogenic changes. Researchers from the University of Hawai?i at Manoas School of Ocean and Earth Science...

Australia: A scientist explains the mystery behind the 2010-2011 sea-level drop
2013-08-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: For the past couple of decades, the oceans have been steadily rising. Each year, sea-level increases by about 3 millimeters, a constant and ominous creep responding to climate warming. Scientists have been measuring this rise from satellites since 1993, using instruments called altimeters. But for an 18-month period that began in the middle of 2010, something surprising happened. Instead of rising, sea levels fell. Lake Eyre, a huge catch basin for eastern Australia's rainfall, typically collects...
