A 'new baseline': Study captures accelerating sea-level rise in Africa Sea-level rise has accelerated across Africa in recent decades, thanks to global warming and, in particular, to the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, according to a recent study. The study, publishe...

We have all heard about sea-level rise, but its impacts can be difficult to quantify. A recent study focusing on coastal Africa led by CEOS postdoctoral fellow Dr. Franck Ghomsi does just that, and his work has been highlighted by award-winning non-profit environmental news organization Mongabay.

Congratulations to our postdoctoral fellow Clément Soriot for winning the 'Research Activities' category of the ArcticNet 2025 photo contest!

Clément captured this stunning photo while working aboard the CCGS Amundsen icebreaker and Arctic research vessel last year. #arctic #research

We're in Calgary for ArcticNet ASM 2025! Come say hi to learn more and talk about opportunities for collaboration. We also have many CEOS members presenting posters and giving talks throughout the week!
