The new study described this "almost unprecedented rate of increase" in the length of an average day as a quantifiable ...

After analyzing 385 studies related to coastal areas and sea level rise, scientists found a significant discrepancy between geoid measurements and actual sea levels, especially in the global south.

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth's rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 ...

Rising sea levels are slowing Earth’s rotation, lengthening how long an average day lasts. And the current rate of increase to a single average day—1.33 additional milliseconds per century—is ...

A lot of past research has used flawed methodology to estimate current coastal water levels, according to a new study ...

Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on record.

Satellite data shows rivers rise and fall less than expected while revealing hidden riverbed shapes and new clues about Earth’s water cycle.

New geological evidence suggests that the slow wobble of Earth’s axis may have triggered rapid climate swings during the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world.

Oceans are rising as the climate changes, threatening coastal cities. A new study shows that much more of the world's ...

Many of the world’s coastal risk maps begin with a simple assumption: the ocean starts at zero. But new research suggests that this baseline may already be wrong. Scientists analyzing hundreds of ...
