"The shoreline, where the water meets the sand right now, is probably going to retreat landward about 30 meters or more for every meter of sea level rise you get," said Sean Vitousek, a research ...

That meant that sea level was around 70 meters higher than today - that is also how much the ice on Earth today (mostly situated on Greenland and Antarctica) could raise sea level, should it all melt.

Sea level rise of at least 1-2 meters was now inevitable, the scientists said. In the UK, just 1 meter of sea level rise would see large parts of the Fens and Humberside below sea level.

Some 230 million people live on land within one meter (3.2 feet) of sea level, and more than a billion reside within 10 meters. Sea level rise is driven in roughly equal measure by the ...

Sea Levels Likely To Rise by 1.9 Meters by 2100, Say Researchers A new projection method known as the "fusion" approach predicts that sea levels are likely to rise 1.9 meters by 2,100.

A high emissions scenario, however, could result in up to 3.6 feet of sea level rise worldwide by 2100, and up to 6.6 feet by 2150, according to the IPCC's 2021 report.

This week, we answer questions about sea level rise, including how its predicted and the most recent predictions for Charleston by the year 2050. Plus, why is 2050 used as the threshold year, anyway?
