sea level

That extra water going into rivers and eventually the oceans means higher sea levels for coastal populations around the world.

The presence of dust in the ice will help them understand how the ice sheets shrank and contributed to sea level rise - something that is a major concern this century.

Above this temperature level, scientists anticipate significant impacts from global sea level rise, more extreme weather and impacts on agriculture.

At sea level, a thunderstorm can be 12,000 feet above you, even if the clouds are directly overhead.

One and a half million Australians living in coastal areas are at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, a landmark climate report has warned.
