Earlier studies have relied on a rough estimate of the global sea level, which is actually far lower than the true water line in many places. The new findings indicate sea levels could be around 11 inches (28 cm) higher than expected in the UK and between 3.2 ft and 4.9 ft (1-1.5 metres) higher in parts of Southeast Asia .

Antarctica has a 'gravity hole'
Environment Climate Change Antarctica has a'gravity hole' The geological oddity has existed since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica sounds like the plot to a bad sci-fi movie, but it's a very real situation deep beneath the Earth's surface stretching back tens of millions of years. The phenomenon thankfully isn't as apocalyptic as it sounds, either. In fact, researchers say these complex interactions between rock densities, gravitational pull, and sea levels are actually helping them understand how the southernmost continent's ice sheets evolved, and what their influences mean for the planet's climate.

The Doomsday Glacier Is Getting Closer and Closer to Irreversible Collapse
An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time. Known as the "Doomsday Glacier," the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is one of the most rapidly changing glaciers on Earth, and its future evolution is one of the biggest unknowns when it comes to predicting global sea level rise. The eastern ice shelf of the Thwaites Glacier is supported at its northern end by a ridge of the ocean floor. However, over the past two decades, cracks in the upper reaches of the glacier have increased rapidly, weakening its structural stability. A new study by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) presents a detailed record of this gradual collapse process.

OceanAI: A Conversational Platform for Accurate, Transparent, Near-Real-Time Oceanographic Insights
Chen, Bowen, Gajbhar, Jayesh, Dusek, Gregory, Redmon, Rob, Hogan, Patrick, Liu, Paul, Bohnenstiehl, DelWayne, Xu, Dongkuan, He, Ruoying
Artificial intelligence is transforming the sciences, yet general conversational AI systems often generate unverified "hallucinations" undermining scientific rigor. We present OceanAI, a conversational platform that integrates the natural-language fluency of open-source large language models (LLMs) with real-time, parameterized access to authoritative oceanographic data streams hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Each query such as "What was Boston Harbor's highest water level in 2024?" triggers real-time API calls that identify, parse, and synthesize relevant datasets into reproducible natural-language responses and data visualizations. In a blind comparison with three widely used AI chat-interface products, only OceanAI produced NOAA-sourced values with original data references; others either declined to answer or provided unsupported results. Designed for extensibility, OceanAI connects to multiple NOAA data products and variables, supporting applications in marine hazard forecasting, ecosystem assessment, and water-quality monitoring. By grounding outputs and verifiable observations, OceanAI advances transparency, reproducibility, and trust, offering a scalable framework for AI-enabled decision support within the oceans. A public demonstration is available at https://oceanai.ai4ocean.xyz.

Principled Operator Learning in Ocean Dynamics: The Role of Temporal Structure
Jahanmard, Vahidreza, Ramezani-Kebrya, Ali, Hordoir, Robinson
Neural operators are becoming the default tools to learn solutions to governing partial differential equations (PDEs) in weather and ocean forecasting applications. Despite early promising achievements, significant challenges remain, including long-term prediction stability and adherence to physical laws, particularly for high-frequency processes. In this paper, we take a step toward addressing these challenges in high-resolution ocean prediction by incorporating temporal Fourier modes, demonstrating how this modification enhances physical fidelity. This study compares the standard Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) with its variant, FNOtD, which has been modified to internalize the dispersion relation while learning the solution operator for ocean PDEs. The results demonstrate that entangling space and time in the training of integral kernels enables the model to capture multiscale wave propagation and effectively learn ocean dynamics. FNOtD substantially improves long-term prediction stability and consistency with underlying physical dynamics in challenging high-frequency settings compared to the standard FNO. It also provides competitive predictive skill relative to a state-of-the-art numerical ocean model, while requiring significantly lower computational cost.

Multi-site modelling and reconstruction of past extreme skew surges along the French Atlantic coast
Huet, Nathan, Naveau, Philippe, Sabourin, Anne
Appropriate modelling of extreme skew surges is crucial, particularly for coastal risk management. Our study focuses on modelling extreme skew surges along the French Atlantic coast, with a particular emphasis on investigating the extremal dependence structure between stations. We employ the peak-over-threshold framework, where a multivariate extreme event is defined whenever at least one location records a large value, though not necessarily all stations simultaneously. A novel method for determining an appropriate level (threshold) above which observations can be classified as extreme is proposed. Two complementary approaches are explored. First, the multivariate generalized Pareto distribution is employed to model extremes, leveraging its properties to derive a generative model that predicts extreme skew surges at one station based on observed extremes at nearby stations. Second, a novel extreme regression framework is assessed for point predictions. This specific regression framework enables accurate point predictions using only the "angle" of input variables, i.e. input variables divided by their norms. The ultimate objective is to reconstruct historical skew surge time series at stations with limited data. This is achieved by integrating extreme skew surge data from stations with longer records, such as Brest and Saint-Nazaire, which provide over 150 years of observations.

Analysis of Learning-based Offshore Wind Power Prediction Models with Various Feature Combinations
Fang, Linhan, Jiang, Fan, Toms, Ann Mary, Li, Xingpeng
Accurate wind speed prediction is crucial for designing and selecting sites for offshore wind farms. This paper investigates the effectiveness of various machine learning models in predicting offshore wind power for a site near the Gulf of Mexico by analyzing meteorological data. After collecting and preprocessing meteorological data, nine different input feature combinations were designed to assess their impact on wind power predictions at multiple heights. The results show that using wind speed as the output feature improves prediction accuracy by approximately 10% compared to using wind power as the output. In addition, the improvement of multi-feature input compared with single-feature input is not obvious mainly due to the poor correlation among key features and limited generalization ability of models. These findings underscore the importance of selecting appropriate output features and highlight considerations for using machine learning in wind power forecasting, offering insights that could guide future wind power prediction models and conversion techniques.

Shocking images reveal the cities that 'will be flooded by global warming by 2100 as sea levels rise by up to 6.2 FEET'- so, can you tell where they are?
As greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, scientists reveal many of the world's cities will be plunged underwater in just 75 years. In 2100, global sea levels will rise by a staggering 6.2ft (1.9 metres) if carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to increase, say experts in Singapore. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) reveals exactly what this might look like. MailOnline turned to Google's AI image generator ImageFX to depict nine of the global cities that are particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels. For each city, we gave the command; 'Show me what it would look like in the year 2100 where sea levels have risen 6.2 feet.'
