Using long-dead corals, NTU scientists can trace sea-level histories for more accurate projections

by

SINGAPORE – The sea-level histories of less-studied tropical regions can now be traced as Nanyang Technological University (NTU) researchers have developed a way to unlock the “memories” of ancient corals. They can do this by imagining a live microatoll – a flat-topped colony of corals – next to the long-dead corals, visualising how it would … Read more

Africa Faces Rapid Sea-Level Rise Despite Minimal CO₂ Emissions (Report)

About 80% of the rise comes from added water rather than thermal expansion, a pattern that differs from the global average. Up to 117 million Africans could face … Read more
