Is sea-level rise accelerating even more than we thought?
2015-01-16 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vox: The acceleration of sea-level rise since the 1990s may have been a much bigger deal than anyone realized. That's the upshot of an interesting new study in Nature, which argues that past research had overestimated the pace of global sea-level rise between 1900 and 1990 by about 30 percent. That would mean that the period of rising sea levels since 1990 -- which have been well-studied and tracked by satellites -- represents an even bigger departure from the past than once believed.

Melting Greenland ice sheet is biggest contributor to sea level rise
2015-01-16 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: As the largest single chunk of melting snow and ice in the world, the massive ice sheet that covers about 80 percent of Greenland is recognized as the biggest potential contributor to rising sea levels due to glacial meltwater. Until now, however, scientists attention has mostly focused on the ice sheets aquamarine lakes bodies of meltwater that tend to abruptly drain and on monster chunks of ice that slide into the ocean to become icebergs. But a new UCLA-led study reveals a vast network...

Sea Level Rise Accelerating Faster Than Thought
2015-01-16 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The acceleration of the rate of sea level rise over the past couple decades is even higher than scientists had thought, according to a new study that uses a novel method to estimate the global rise of the oceans. The reason? The rate of rise across the 20th century has actually been overestimated -- by as much as 30 percent -- meaning there's been a bigger jump in sea level rise rates from the beginning of the 1900s to now than previously thought. "The acceleration over the 20th century is...
