Instead of costly levees and seawalls, coastal ecosystems could offer an alternative way to protect Australia’s coastal communities from rising seas, saving money and storing carbon along the way. Sea…

Warming in the Arctic has now reached the northernmost sections of the Greenland ice sheet. After a long period of stability (more than 25 years), we have found in a new study of the region that the northeast…
The resurfacing of the idea of developing northern Australia is akin to making a sequel for an old cinema classic. It evokes familiarity and the repackaging of tested and yet-to-be tested concepts. It…
Rising sea levels are typically written about as a “threat to future generations” – something to worry about by 2050 or 2100, not now. But if you want to see why even relatively small increases in sea…
Greenland’s largest glacier is melting at the fastest speed ever recorded. Researchers found that the Jakobshavn Glacier…
Coastal flooding could effect up to 600m people and cost billions of dollars in repairs within the century. New research…
Since the industrial revolution, sea-level rise has been fast by natural standards. It may reach 80cm above today’s sea-level…
Climate change is causing the North Pole to shift, owing to subtle changes in Earth’s rotation that result from the melting…
As the science on the coastal impacts of climate change gets stronger, the protections for Australia’s coastal communities are getting weaker. If that continues, everyone will pay. Along the eastern seaboard…
New research has found that human activity could be damaging wetlands’ natural defence to rising sea levels. The study by…
Sea level rise and shoreline retreat are the two key factors predicted to cause an increase in flood risk in the future…
Global sea levels are expected to rise between 0.7 and 1.2 metres by the end of the century if global warming continues at…
Analyses of the deepwater, or mesophotic, reefs of the Great Barrier Reef has shown how the reef responds to global sea level…
Scientists are able to more accurately predict sea level rise thanks to new research into how glaciers respond to climate…
Rising sea levels caused by global warming are putting island habitats that hold 20% of the world’s biodiversity at risk…
The general thrust of the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report - released on Friday – can be summarised as: “there is now more evidence that climate change is occurring”. Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are…
Australia has the capacity to absorb enough water to temporarily halt long-term sea level rise. Research led by the National…
