Researchers found that a majority of studies on coastal sea levels underestimated how high water levels are, and hundreds of millions of people are closer to peril than previously thought.
Many coastal maps start from the wrong sea-level baseline, and correcting the error could mean millions more are vulnerable ...

Study: Up to 132M more people may face sea-level rise risk
A peer-reviewed study published in Nature on March 4, 2026, finds that up to 132 million more people worldwide may be exposed to sea-level rise than previous assessments suggested. The core problem is ...
Humans are a coastal species. More than one in ten people in the world live within three miles of the shore, and about 40 ...

Sea level is higher than we thought, putting millions more in extreme flood danger
A study published in Nature on March 4, 2026, found that more than 99% of coastal hazard assessments conducted over the past 16 years used flawed sea-level data, meaning actual ocean levels are ...
King tide events usually occur May through July, according to UH Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Islands King Tides Project, which has been active since 2015. The project uses submitted photos to track ...
KOCHI: The possibility of parts of Kochi — including low-lying coastal stretches such as Vypeen and Chellanam — slipping below sea level by 2050 is emerging as ...
Most Marin residents accept the reality that our shoreline along San Francisco Bay and in West Marin fronting the Pacific Ocean is experiencing the early impacts from sea-level rise. Recently, ...
Sea levels along coasts around the world are much higher than assumed because of errors in the way they have been calculated, according to a study by Wageningen University and published in scientific ...
Parts of Essex, including Canvey Island and Tilbury, could face severe flooding by 2040 due to sea level rise, according to Climate Central’s ...
Scientists discover underwater mountain ranges, golden towers of coral, and never-before-seen sea creatures.
Errors discovered in hundreds of sea level studies have changed coastal hazard maps around the world
Many of the world’s coastal risk maps begin with a simple assumption: the ocean starts at zero. But new research suggests that this baseline may already be wrong. Scientists analyzing hundreds of ...
