Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion. According to a NASA-led analysis, last year's rate of rise was 0.23 inches (0.

The world's sea levels grew far more quickly and by a larger amount than anticipated in 2024, mostly due to warming water temperatures, a new NASA analysis shows.

Global sea levels rose more than expected in 2024, Earth's hottest year on record, according to an analysis released Thursday by the US space agency NASA.

As climate change continues to drive global sea level rise, many people living in coastal areas are already seeing the effects. Coastal erosion is accelerating and shifting coastlines inland, and storm surges are getting worse.

An alarming NASA study has revealed sea levels rose much faster than expected last year thanks to scorching global temperatures

A recent study has unveiled alarming projections for world economies, with estimated losses of over $1 trillion due to rising sea levels.

The Grays Harbor County Board of Commissioners consisting of Georgia Miller, Rick Hole and Vickie Raines got their first opportunity to learn about the ongoing Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study.

Sea levels rose even higher than anticipated last year, according to an analysis by NASA. Last year was the hottest on record for the planet — largely due to human-caused climate change — leading to a sea-level rise of nearly 0.

An analysis led by the agency found that the rate of rise was nearly a quarter of an inch per year, compared to an expected rate of 0.17 inches. That’s a concerning statistic considering the hazards rising sea levels bring,
