When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...

Let’s get the obvious query out of the way: Why is landlocked Utah State University (elevation above sea level: 4,500 feet) now offering a minor in marine science? “Yes, it’s a question we’re often ...

A new method for quantifying grandeur is reshuffling the pecking order of the planet’s most impressive peaks. Turns out Everest has steep competition. Mount Everest, left, tops out at 29,032 feet ...

Satellite data reveals sea-level rise has unfolded almost exactly as predicted by 1990s climate models, with one key underestimation: melting ice sheets. Researchers stress the importance of refining ...

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind ...

Abstract: Global navigation satellite system-reflectometry (GNSS-R) provides an effective remote sensing technique for accurate retrieval of sea surface height (SSH) measurements. However, accuracy is ...
