In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made tremendous strides thanks to advances in machine learning and growing pools of data to learn from. Large language models (LLMs) and their derivatives, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s BERT, can now generate material that is increasingly similar to content created by humans. As a result, LLMs have become popular tools for creating high-quality, relevant and coherent text for a range of purposes, from composing social media posts to drafting academic papers.

Rising sea levels could impact quality of life in coastal areas within a shorter timeframe than previously assumed, according to new research published in Nature Climate Change by a team that includes University of Maryland faculty member Allison Reilly. Their work, which also features an online dashboard, highlights a need to rethink the metrics that are used in planning for climate-related displacement.
