"Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans" | Our ( Lijing Cheng et al) new study in Adv. Atmos. Sci.; this year we also show the consistent La Niña-like patterns of warming across recent decades. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Why is sea level rising? Global sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2,500-plus years. NASA JPL’s Ben Hamlington explains how our warming planet is causing sea level rise. sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-…

It's now live and awesome, NASA Sea Level Team's Flooding Analysis Tool. All y'all working on coastal resilience or addressing high-tide (nuisance flooding) check it out. Ben Hamlington sealevel.nasa.gov/flooding-analy…?



NASA Earth missions are allowing us direct insights into global changes around the 🌎. Consider sea level rise: Half of the sealevel rise is from melted ice, the other half from volume expansion due to larger water temperature. When it comes to the sealevel.nasa.gov/news/259/nasa-…


Check out this awesome tool that Phil Thompson (University of Hawaii at Manoa) built on sealevel.nasa.gov. Connects future sea-level scenarios with other, natural sea-level variability to produce estimates of future high-tide flooding.


Yesterday Rising Nations Initiative co-organized the important launch of NASA special report written for #RisingNations on #Sealevel rise implications for 🇹🇻Tuvalu w/ Republic of Korea Mission to the UN🇰🇷🇺🇳 & Tuvalu Mission UN Strong support expressed by United Nations Ambassadors to advance #ClimateAction & address sea level rise



What can satellite data do for you? 🌊🛰️🌏 Our new paper offers ideas on how coastal communities could use satellite data to dynamically adapt to sea level rise. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Ben Hamlington, Dave Rounce, Renee Collini, Marjolijn Haasnoot, Sandr Schlappovic, Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation et al.

Great to organize this critical dialogue on Youth Day at #COP28 between youth delegates and NASA’s Chief Scientist Kate Calvin & Dr Ben Hamlington, FRIENDS OF VULNERABLE VILLAGE CHILDREN UGANDA ‘s Brian Okabaki and UNICEF’s Fabio Friscia on the importance of climate education & literacy based on science!
