Jul 7, 2021 · In the mid-2030s, every U.S. coast will experience rapidly increasing high-tide floods, when a lunar cycle will amplify rising sea levels caused by climate change.

Aug 4, 2021 · In the first half, when the moon is close, nearly all coasts on Earth (other than those at its northern and southernmost points) experience lower high tides and higher low tides.

Jul 14, 2021 · The researchers predict that in the mid-2030s, the effects of the lunar cycle combined with sea level rise will cause coastal areas of the U.S. to see near-daily tidal flooding for a month...

Apr 27, 2021 · This simplified chart illustrates how the lunar nodal cycle suppresses and enhances the effects of sea level rise in Miami. The basic model assumes a constant linear increase of sea level, …

Apr 26, 2021 · The result can make it seem like the coastal flooding risk has leveled off, and that can make sea level rise less obvious. This simplified chart illustrates how the lunar nodal cycle …

Aug 12, 2021 · Yet, if it takes a tipsy moon — a phenomenon known for centuries — to bring attention to climate science and evolving understanding of sea level rise impacts, it could help engage the public …

Oct 1, 2021 · During almost two-decade-long cycles, effects of the moon alter coastal sea levels. When experienced on top of rising sea levels due to climate change, a boost in flooding could put many …

Jul 7, 2021 · Global sea level rise will have been at work for another decade. The higher seas, amplified by the lunar cycle, will cause a leap in flood numbers on almost all U.S. mainland coastlines, Hawaii, …

To slow down sea level rise, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is key. Individuals, communities, and governments can also respond by building resilient infrastructure, restoring and conserving natural …

Jul 8, 2021 · Coastal cities across the U.S. are likely to see high-tide floods starting in the mid-2030s as rising sea levels align with the lunar cycle, NASA says.
