Ancient ice melt unearthed in Antarctic mud: 20 meter sea level rise, five million years ago

ScienceDaily: Global warming five million years ago may have caused parts of Antarctica's large ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise by approximately 20 metres, scientists report today in the journal Nature Geoscience. The researchers, from Imperial College London, and their academic partners studied mud samples to learn about ancient melting of the East Antarctic ice sheet. They discovered that melting took place repeatedly between five and three million years ago, during a geological period called Pliocene...

Study: Long-term sea level rise is inevitable

Summit Voice: Sea level rise is here to stay, according to researchers with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, who recently published a study combining evidence from early Earths climate history with comprehensive computer simulations using physical models of all four major contributors to long-term global sea-level rise. The results show a slow but inexorable rise -- less than six feet by the end of this century -- but the rate will increase as melting Antarctic and Greenland ice become bigger...
Marshes on the move: experts track rising sea levels along Sound

Journal News: The oak and hickory trees at the edge of a Long Island Sound salt marsh stand silent but could serve as future markers of climate change. Surrounded by thorns, poison ivy and some mosquitoes on a recent day, the trees positions were measured relative to the marsh grass and other wetland plants. Scientists expect to return in a decade with their tape measure and GPS unit and again calculate the distance between the woods and the marsh. The goal of their research is to see if the marshes are keeping...
