In many communities in the U.S., sea level rise is already a factor in people’s lives in the form of high-tide flooding.

For NASA engineer Shannon Statham, building spacecraft is all about being creative.

Changing conditions in the Pacific have stirred up Earth’s largest ocean and redistributed its heat, piling up warm waters along U.S. Western shores and raising sea level in the process.
