Vox: The world's sea levels are expected to rise 1 to 3 feet -- or more -- as the planet heats up in the coming century. The more greenhouse gases we emit, the bigger the rise, but we've already locked in at least some sea-level increase no matter what. So what should the millions of people living in low-lying coastal areas do? Broadly speaking, there are three ways to deal with sea-level rise.

RedOrbit: A new way of measuring sea level using satellite navigation system signals, for instance GPS, has been implemented by scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Sea level and its variation can easily be monitored using existing coastal GPS stations, the scientists have shown. ?Measuring sea level is an increasingly important part of climate research, and a rising mean sea level is one of the most tangible consequences of climate change. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology...
