History of changes in rate of relative sea level (RSL) rise at 12 U.S. East coast locations from 2004 through 2020. Note the sharp contrast in sea-level behavior north (solid lines) and south (dotted lines) of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. (VIMS/WYD) Sea level “report cards” issued annually by researchers at William & Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science add further evidence of an accelerating rate of sea-level rise during 2020 at nearly all tidal stations along the U.S. coastline. The team’s web-based report cards project sea level to the year 2050 based on an ongoing analysi...
