ScienceDaily: The continued accumulation of sand within the iconic ring-shaped reefs inside Maldivian atolls could provide a foundation for future island development new research suggests. Islands like the Maldives are considered likely to be the first to feel the effects of climate change induced sea level rise, with future island growth essential to counter the threat of rising sea levels. The study published in the journal Geology, and carried out by researchers from the University of Exeter in collaboration...
Warming in Greenland Sea Outpaces Global Ocean Warming
2013-09-25 18:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The Greenland Sea is warming nearly 10 times faster than warming rates estimated for the rest of the global ocean, according to research from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Germany. To investigate climate change in the region, the scientists compiled temperature and salinity measurements taken in the Greenland Sea since 1993 and coupled the data with historical observations dating back to the 1950s. Writing in the journal Geophysical Research...

How High Will Sea Levels Go by 2100?
2013-09-24 19:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Rising sea level is among the most potentially catastrophic effects of human-caused climate change. Increases in sea level strengthen the destructive power of storms, and threaten to swamp major coastal cities, as well as small-island and low-lying nations. In the United States alone, more than 8 million people live in areas at risk of coastal flooding. During the 20th century, global sea levels crept up by about 6.7 inches (17 centimeters), and the rate of increase appears to have accelerated...
