Experts brainstormed legal ways to adapt to sea level rise at Columbia Climate School’s Managed Retreat conference.

A time similar to our own saw catastrophic sea-level rise. But exactly how catastrophic?

From June 22 to 25, the Managed Retreat conference will examine the thorny questions around relocating homes and communities away from growing threats.

A recent conversation focused on three coastlines where Indigenous and Black communities are caught between rising seas and societal and development threats on land.

Ice is melting more rapidly than previously thought, according to two new studies, which examine some of the specific causes.

We’ve lost 28 trillion tons of ice globally in 24 years, from 1994 to 2017, and the implications for sea level rise could be significant.

The massive ice sheet is now locked into a certain amount of decline. But reducing emissions remains critical to preventing catastrophic loss of the entire ice sheet.

GreenDrill promises to reveal the ice sheet’s past in unprecedented detail and enable more accurate predictions of how it may add to rising seas in the 21st century.

The development economist thinks that understanding the factors that influence climate adaptation decisions will be key to building a more resilient future.

Research by Center for Climate and Life Fellow Pierre Dutrieux will lead to greater understanding of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s future stability and associated sea level rise.
