A recent study in the scientific journal Nature says many forecasters are underestimating how much sea level will rise due to ...

The study says climate change's rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high ...

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

The Miocene, beginning approximately 23 million years ago, represents a canonical "warm-Earth" interval characterized by elevated atmospheric CO2 and a warmer global climate. The El Niño–Southern ...

New research shows storms in the Southern Ocean are producing more rainfall, revealing a major shift in one of Earth’s most important climate systems. Macquarie Island sits in the remote Southern ...
