Sea level rise - Wikipedia
Map of the Earth with a long-term 6-metre (20 ft) sea level rise represented in red (uniform distribution, actual sea level rise will vary regionally and local adaptation measures will also have an effect on local sea levels).

Is sea level rising? - NOAA's National Ocean Service
Sea level rise at specific locations may be more or less than the global average due to many local factors: subsidence, upstream flood control, erosion, regional ocean currents, variations in land height, and whether the land is still rebounding from the compressive weight of Ice Age glaciers.
Climate Change: Global Sea Level - NOAA Climate.gov
Aug 22, 2023 · Global mean sea level has risen about 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. The rising water level is mostly due to a combination of melt water from glaciers and ice sheets and thermal expansion of seawater as it warms.
Sea level rise, facts and information - National Geographic
Apr 10, 2023 · Seas are predicted to rise a foot by 2050, regardless of how much global carbon emissions can be reduced. Why is this happening, and what can we do to adapt? As humans continue to pour...
Sea Level Rise - Map Viewer | NOAA Climate.gov
NOAA's Sea Level Rise map viewer gives users a way to visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise (up to 10 feet above average high tides).
Tracking 30 Years of Sea Level Rise - NASA Earth Observatory
Aug 10, 2022 · Scientists have found that global mean sea level—shown in the line plot above and below—has risen 10.1 centimeters (3.98 inches) since 1992. Over the past 140 years, satellites and tide gauges together show that global sea level has risen 21 to 24 centimeters (8 to 9 …
Sea Level - Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
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.
What is sea level rise and why does it matter to our future?
Aug 26, 2024 · It is estimated that the oceans have risen by approximately 20-23 centimetres (8-9 inches) since 1880. In 2023, the average sea level globally reached a record high the UN’s World...
