Sea Level Rise to Cause Near-Daily Flooding in Parts of Baltimore Region by End of Century, New Report Says
|
A new report from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science predicts sea levels around the state could rise by as little as 1 foot or as much as 7 feet by the end of the century — depending on how much carbon the world emits into the atmosphere.

RESEARCH & COMMENTARY: LAND SUBSIDENCE, NOT CLIMATE CHANGE, IS THE CAUSE OF WATER INTRUSION IN AND AROUND CHESAPEAKE BAY
|
A report released in October 2017 by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), titled
“Will Global Warming Overflow Chesapeake Bay?
”, says the available research indicates water intrusion problems in the area around the Chesapeake Bay are not due to sea-level rise induced by anthropogenic (man-caused) global warming, “but primarily to land subsidence due to groundwater depletion and, to a lesser extent, subsidence from glacial isostatic adjustment.”
