From a story on futurity.org by Barri Bronston headlined “Rates of U.S. Coastal Sea Level Rise Break Records”:
Sea levels along the US Southeast and Gulf coasts have been rapidly accelerating, reaching record-breaking rates over the past 12 years, according to a new study.
The researchers say they have detected rates of sea-level rise of about a half an inch per year since 2010. They attribute the acceleration to the compounding effects of man-made climate change and natural climate variability.
