A study has highlighted the speed at which U.S. cities along the East Coast are sinking as sea levels continue to rise, potentially threatening vital infrastructure hot spots.

Some areas along the U.S. Atlantic coast are sinking at a rate of 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) per year, the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences reported. Places mentioned in the report include New York City, Long Island, Baltimore, Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
