A ‘new baseline‘: Study captures accelerating sea-level rise in Africa

Sea-level rise has accelerated across Africa in recent decades, thanks to global warming and, in particular, to the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, according to a recent study. The study, published Dec. 15 in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, found that sea levels across the continent have risen four times faster since 2010, […]

Wanted to share this as my first Mastodon post, just trying to work out how everything works TBH, I hope it's a welcome break from US Noise currently dominating feeds everywhere. Hope they sort themselves out soon. Anyhow, I'm calling it dark despair humour. I dont want to tell the story behind the image. I want to hear theories and arguments =0), enjoy #Polar #Bears #North #Icebergs #AIArt #DarkHumour #Environment #Future #SeaLevel #Apocalypse

Building Natural Seawalls To Fight Off The Rising Tide

These days, the conversation around climate change so often focuses on matters of soaring temperatures and extreme weather events. While they no longer dominate the discourse, rising sea levels wil…

Lewright et al provide a prediction of relative sea level change by the end of the 21st century for Greenland. Due to glacial isostatic adjustment effects, most of Greenland will experience a sea level fall of over 1 m by the end of the century.

I am very happy to see the authors making use of my paleo sea level database, GAPSLIP. I have put a lot of work into it, and I hope that it can be used for more studies like this!

Projections of 21st-century sea-level fall along coastal Greenland - Nature Communications

Melting from the Greenland Ice Sheet triggers land uplift beneath the ice sheet and changes to Earth’s gravitational field and rotation axis, a process called Glacial Isostatic Adjustment. Lewright et al. find that this process will lead to a local sea level fall along Greenland’s coast over this century.

Dean et al investigate paleo sea level indicators from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA. They found that in that location, the sea level highstands in MIS 7 (~200,000 years ago), 5e (125,000 years ago) and 5c (105,000 years ago) were comparable or slightly above present day sea level.
