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 ...
A meta-analysis of sea-level rise studies shows a majority of assessments mistakenly used geoid models rather than land elevation data.
