Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period, a study published in the ...

When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.

The story of how the last Ice Age ended is being rewritten from the bottom up, as new records etched into the sea floor reveal a far more dynamic and interconnected climate system than the traditional ...

How much sea level rise will coastal communities have to contend with by the end of the century, and beyond? Melt from the Earth’s ice sheets is already contributing to flooding throughout the U.S., ...

Headlines about melting ice sheets usually focus on what is lost and then move on. What comes next is often overlooked, even though it matters just as much. A new study of East Antarctica reaches back ...

Efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C under the Paris Climate Agreement may not go far enough to save the world’s ice sheets, according to a new study. Research led by Durham ...

Sea-level rise changes coastlines, putting homes at risk, as Summer Haven, Fla., has seen. Aerial Views/E+/Getty Images Shaina Sadai, Five College Consortium and Ambarish Karmalkar, University of ...

A new set of detailed clues gleaned from ancient fossil reefs on the Seychelle Islands shows an increasing likelihood that human-caused warming will raise the global average sea level at least 3 feet ...

Melting ice sheets in North America played a far greater role in driving global sea-level rise at the end of the last ice age than scientists had thought, according to a Tulane University-led study ...
