Sinking Cities, Surging Seas – A NASA Discovery That Redefines Coastal Risk

Sea level rise isn’t just about melting ice caps—it’s also about shifting land. A NASA-led study shows that parts of California’s coastline are sinking faster than the ocean is rising, amplifying local sea level rise. Using satellite data, researchers pinpointed areas where land movement—caused by human activities like groundwater extraction and natural forces like tectonics—is …
