The Earth already has warmed more than 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. According to a November 2018 U.S. government report, if nations continue to burn fossil fuels at the current rate, the planet may warm as much as nine degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.1Rising temperatures mean polar ice caps, glaciers, ...
Surrounded by water on three sides, the Naval Academy is especially vulnerable to sea rise. The Severn River runs along the east, Spa Creek extends to the south, and College Creek runs along the north. Parts of the Academy adjacent to the water—Forrest Sherman Field, Dewey Field, Ingram Field, Farragut Field, Rip Miller Field, Worden Parade Field, ...
In response, the Navy and Academy staff have gone on the offensive. In 2015, they formed the Sea Level Rise Advisory Council to create an adaptation plan and make decisions about flood-related matters. Currently, Academy staff are installing door dams and flood barriers on doorways, repairing seawalls, and installing back-flow preventers in storm d...
Flooding from sea level rise is not the only threat to the Naval Academy. The November 2018 U.S. Climate Assessment reported that Atlantic Coast hurricanes will grow in size and strength because of global warming. These super storms—such as the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian, which nearly leveled Grand Bahama Island on 2 September—could flood the low-...
To reduce greenhouse gases, nations will have to quickly restructure their entire energy systems, switching from fossil fuel systems to renewable energy systems such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. But the switch must happen rapidly and will involve significant capital investment. In addition, the world population is expanding rapidly towar...

May 11, 2015 · Sea level at Annapolis has risen by more than a foot over the last century—more than twice the global average. Just since 1990, sea level has risen by three inches, and the number of minor floods has more than doubled. Flooding from high tides has become so common that residents of some neighborhoods feel anxious about flooding, even when the ...
Apr 22, 2020 · Physical World. The tides they are a-changin’ — and it’s not just from climate change. Dredging rivers, filling in wetlands and other human acts of engineering have shifted coastal ebbs and flows worldwide. Add rising sea levels, and the threat of storm surges and floods will worsen in some places. By Alexandra Witze 04.22.2020.
