Study Warns Saltwater Intrusion Threatens Global Coastal Groundwater by 2100
A NASA-DOD study indicates that by 2100, 77% of global coastal aquifers will face saltwater intrusion due to rising sea levels and reduced groundwater recharge. This phenomenon, caused by shifting fresh and saltwater dynamics, threatens water quality, agriculture, and infrastructure. Low-lying regions, including Southeast Asia, the U.S. Eastern Sea...

Rising Seas To Cost Pacific Island Nations $10 Billion - Their 20-Year GDP
Adapting to a sea level rise of up to 0.5 metres (1.64 feet) will cost the three most vulnerable Pacific atoll nations nearly $10 billion - equivalent to about 20 years of gross domestic product - the World Bank said in a report on Thursday.

NASA Data Empowers Global Response to Rising Sea Levels, Here's What You Need to Know
NASA’s sea level data platform now provides coastal regions with projections through 2150, aiming to guide resilient infrastructure planning. Collaborating with global partners like the World Bank and United Nations, NASA offers data that helps governments and organisations address the impacts of climate change on communities worldwide. Coastal c...

Satellite Data Confirms Climate Crisis as Sea Level and Global Temperature Rises
Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Greenland's Fossils Reveal an Ice-Free Tundra Less Than a Million Years Ago: Report
Recent research reveals that Greenland, now 98% covered in ice, was almost entirely ice-free at some point in the last million years. Fossils of plants like willow and Arctic poppy, found in an ice core sample from the island’s center, suggest a once-thriving tundra ecosystem. This discovery is significant because it challenges previous beliefs t...
