Rapidly melting #Antarctic ice shelves may cause global #seaLevels to rise far faster than expected – new study
Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, a new study suggests. The reason is that warming oceans appear to be melting Antarctic ice shelves from below much more rapidly than expectedhttps://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1127097

How is Boston working to address its vulnerability to sea level rise? I'm excited to have an excerpt in Next City from my new book, Climate Change and the Future of Boston, laying out the context and challenges. #boston #climatechange #climate #sealevelrise #cities https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/boston-has-a-plan-for-sea-level-rise-now-what?

Boston Has a Plan for Sea Level Rise. What Next?
Decades of land reclamation left the city vulnerable to flooding. Now Boston faces harder questions: how to finance flood protection, whether to keep building on the waterfront, and whether retreat is the right move.
https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/boston-has-a-plan-for-sea-level-rise-now-what
Boston has developed clear plans to protect its shoreline but "not yet identified large-scale investments to turn these plans into reality."

The unthinkable is now a budget line item. 🌊
In New Orleans, we are no longer just building for the future - we are paying to manage a retreat. Sea levels are rising so fast that the strategy has shifted from raising standards to desperately preventing their total loss. It is a sobering pivot from growth to preservation. 📉

Are we investing in progress or just buying time?

I wrote another thing for The Conversation... this one is a bit of a TLDR for a new paper on a pretty extreme corner of the oceans.
We spent a month drilling thru 500 m of ice to install some sensors that would then talk back to us via satellite - pretty strange to be watching data come in from beneath an ice shelf when sat at your desk. 🙂
It's probably the fanciest paper I'll ever write so its a bit nerve wracking seeing it out (the journal article that is - not the Convo article). #Antarctica #Oceans #climate #SeaLevelRise
Also some dissonance to have this good thing and then everything else, as we know, is basically on fire.

Between land and water: Tribal relocation and resistance
By Celia Llopis-Jepsen
Published April 6, 2026"#ClimateChange is altering the land, and #Indigenous communities are on the frontline. This episode takes you to #Alaska, where rapid permafrost thaw is threatening the Native village of #Nunapitchuk. Then, we head to #Louisiana, where the #PointeAuChien Indian Tribe is losing its land to rising #SeaLevels. These tribes are forced to make a difficult decision between staying and adapting or leaving their ancestral homes. (This episode comes to us from the environmental podcast #SeaChange.)"

Hundreds of studies have missed how much the #oceans are rising
Out of 385 peer-reviewed studies published from 2009 to 2025, around 99% incorrectly estimated #ocean height, leading to #sealevel approximations that were off by as much as a century of projected #sealevelrise.
They found that the studies underestimated coastal sea level height by an average of 24 to 27 centimeters (about 10in), depending on the specific geoid used.

The most polluting #LNG project in the #US is being built in #Louisiana
Louisiana LNG is expected to generate more #greenhousegases than any other #naturalgas terminal in the country.
Louisiana faces several #climate threats exacerbated by #greenhousegas #emissions, including #sealevelrise and more #hurricanes. “As Louisiana becomes more vulnerable, we’re just adding to that vulnerability by producing more greenhouse gases,” Rolfes said. “That’s insanity.”

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."
