Scientists found a major flaw in how sea levels are measured

One of the basic reference points in coastal science has been less reliable than many researchers assumed. A growing body of work now shows that sea-level estimates can drift off course when ...
Scientists studying coastal flood risk have been working with sea-level estimates that are systematically too low, according to a study published in Nature on March 4, 2026. Researchers Christian ...
Gravity field modeling and geoid determination are critical tasks in geodesy and Earth sciences, providing insights into the Earth’s mass distribution and its gravitational potential. Researchers ...
A meta-analysis of sea-level rise studies shows a majority of assessments mistakenly used geoid models rather than land elevation data.
