| Description: |
A new study of sea-level trends in Chesapeake Bay brings both good and bad news to localities concerned with coastal flooding. The study's lead author says the good news is that "absolute sea level in Chesapeake Bay is rising only about half as fast as the global average rise rate." The bad news, he says, is that "local subsidence more than makes up for it." [Source: William & Mary College]
