That could drive up sea level rise or change the current itself since temperature and salinity help determine the strength of the circulation by causing water to rise and fall.

The average sea surface temperature (SST) for March 2025, in locales situated at 60 South–60 North was 20.96 C, the second-highest reading on record for the month, but remained 0.12 C below the ...

Dividing the sea-level budget into contributions from ice sheets and glaciers, the water cycle, steric expansion, and crustal movement is challenging, especially on regional scales. Here, Gravity ...

Brooke Jarvis considers the history behind the search for sea level, as described in a new book by Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, and probes what it tells us about science, global warming, and life on ...
