A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View
Scientists have uncovered a “blind spot” in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.
By Fred Pearce • April 9, 2026
Excerpt: "The other new study focused on the world’s #RiverDeltas. It has long been known that many #deltas are sinking under the influence of #Groundwater pumping. But as Robert Nicholls, climate adaptation researcher at the University of East Anglia, notes, 'There have been lots of different estimates.' Data were inconsistent and based on crude, delta-wide estimates. 'Now at last we have a consistent data set, with high spatial resolution.'
"That data comes from Leonard Ohenhen, an earth system scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who used satellite-mounted radar to produce 3D maps of subsidence on 40 of the world’s biggest and most populous river deltas. He has found that subsidence afflicts more than half those deltas. Most startlingly, in 18 cases subsidence rates exceed those of #RisingTides — hence, more than doubling the effective yearly rise in local sea levels, and in some cases multiplying it tenfold.
"This again puts tens of millions of people once thought safe from rising tides this century in imminent harm’s way, including those living on the deltas of the #Nile in #Egypt, the #Mekong in #Vietnam, the #Mahanadi in #India, and the #YellowRiver in #China. If the current rate of subsidence persists, these areas will be flooded much sooner than thought.
"Researchers say many deltas and other low-lying coastal areas not included in the two studies are at greater risk than believed and urgently require detailed investigation of both actual sea levels and the rate of land subsidence."

@jhaue There don’t appear to be many Universities that have not been corrupted.
Poisoning the minds of the young with scholarships, grants, linkage grants, sponsored research centres and the fully owned institutes for fossil fuel partnerships.
There’s no research on a dead planet.

COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY,
FROM 8 AM TO 1 PM PST
WEDNESDAY (12/13).* WHAT: Minor coastal flooding expected.
* WHERE: San Francisco Bay Shoreline and North Bay Shoreline. #California
* IMPACTS: Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Tidal levels are running around 0.50 - 0.75 feet above tidal predictions. High tide will peak at 10:42 AM PST Wednesday morning at 6.66 feet, resulting in minor coastal flooding for low-lying, flood-prone spots adjacent to the San Francisco Bay.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.

Japanese #protest against further discharge of #Fukushima #nuclear-contaminated water
By Jiang Xueqing in Tokyo
"In a written reply to China Daily, #MasahideKimura, a member of the Japanese civic group #NoNukesPlazaTokyo, said: '#TEPCO and the government did not make a clear and easy-to-understand announcement about the analysis results of the so-called #ALPS treated water, which makes me suspicious.'
"As the exact quantity of the presence of #radioactive isotopes is not clear, Kimura said he believes that there is a possibility of negative impacts on the #MarineEnvironment and #HumanHealth. He called for the immediate establishment of an international monitoring system that will be effective over the long term.
"Last week, two male workers, employees of a partner firm of TEPCO, were hospitalized for decontamination and observation after they were exposed to nuclear-contaminated water while cleaning pipes at the Advanced Liquid Processing System at the Fukushima plant.
"During the operation, a hose used to transfer nuclear-contaminated water to a tank went loose, leading to the splashing of approximately 100 milliliters of radioactive water, The Asahi Shimbun, a daily newspaper in Japan, reported.
"'At the site of nuclear-contaminated water treatment, various accidents are possible. For instance, #RisingTides could potentially block the pipelines, and rats entering the area could lead to accidents. Many things are unpredictable. Therefore, TEPCO should indeed take measures to prevent accidents at the site and should be highly vigilant. However, from a technical standpoint, this is very difficult to achieve,' said Masashi Goto, a former nuclear power plant engineer and a member of the #CitizensCommissionOnNuclearEnergy.
"In the face of external doubts regarding Japan's policy of discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, the Japanese government always uses the International Atomic Energy Agency to endorse it and emphasizes the scientific nature of their own plan."
