Global sea level rose higher than expected last year. Here’s why – the Washington Post

Single frame from NASA animation shows the rise in global mean sea level from 1993 to 2024 (by Mark SubbaRao, visualizer (NASA/GSFC) and Benjamin Hamlington, scientist (NASA/JPL) based on data from a series of five international satellites.

The rate of global sea level rise follows a trend of rapidly increasing rates over the past 30 years…

A coastal California community is sliding 4 inches a week toward the ocean – SFGate

NASA’s UAVSAR airborne radar instrument captured data in fall 2024 showing the motion of landslides on the Palos Verdes Peninsula following record-breaking rainfall in Southern California in 2023 and another heavy-precipitation winter in 2024. Darker red indicates faster motion. (courtesy of NASA Earth Observatory via JetPopulsionLab website).

Residents in scenic communities along the coast of Southern California have known for years that the Palos Verdes Peninsula is prone to landslides, but new research from NASA reveals a startling speed at which the Los Angeles subregion is shifting into the sea. …
