Greenland Ice Sheet Cracking Faster, Accelerating Sea Level Rise
A study reveals a 4.3 percent increase in crevasses in the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2016 and 2021, with some areas showing a 25 percent increase, accelerating ice melt and contributing to rising sea levels due to human-induced warming.

West Antarctic Ice Melt Accelerates Volcanic Activity, Threatening Catastrophic Sea Level Rise
Scientists have discovered a positive feedback loop where climate-change-induced melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet increases volcanic activity, which in turn accelerates melting, potentially raising sea levels catastrophically by 190 feet by 2300 if the current rate continues.

Mediterranean Tsunami Risk to Increase 10-30% in 50 Years Due to Climate Change
A 10-30% increase in Mediterranean tsunami probability is projected over the next 50 years due to climate change-induced sea level rise (currently 4 mm/year) and coastal geological movements, increasing the risk for over 150 million people in coastal areas.

Antarctic Glacier Melt Increases Volcanic Eruption Risk
Scientists have found that global warming is causing Antarctic glaciers to melt faster, which in turn increases the risk of volcanic eruptions under the ice. This could lead to further melting and a rise in sea levels that would threaten many coastal areas.
