10 de abr. de 2023 · Sea levels are rising at an extraordinary pace. Here's what to know. Seas are predicted to rise a foot by 2050, regardless of how much global carbon emissions can be reduced.
Visualize and access information and data relevant to understanding and planning for sea level rise in response to ongoing climate change.
19 de abr. de 2022 · Global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. In 2022, global average sea level set a new record high—101.2 mm (4 inches) above 1993 levels.
19 de oct. de 2023 · Sea level rise poses a serious threat to coastal life around the world. Consequences include increased intensity of storm surges, flooding, and damage to coastal areas. In many cases, this is where large population centers are located, in addition to fragile wildlife habitats.
Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting ice sheets and glaciers, and the expansion of seawater as it warms. The first graph tracks the change in global sea level since 1993, as observed by satellites.
Earth’s seas are rising, a direct result of a changing climate. Ocean temperatures are increasing, leading to ocean expansion. And as ice sheets and glaciers melt, they add more water. The globally averaged trend toward rising sea levels masks deeper complexities.
How much has the sea level risen due to climate change and what are the impacts and projections for the future? Find out in this comprehensive report by the IPCC, the leading international body for the assessment of climate science. Learn about the causes, effects and uncertainties of sea level rise and its implications for coastal communities and ecosystems.
