Climate change has exposed a number of lost treasures and forgotten stories.
Ancient artifacts, rare fossils, and even human remains are among the unearthed finds.
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report states that climate change is making certain weather storms and droughts more severe and pervasive in many parts of the world. Adding water to the ocean is one of the effects of rising global temperatures.
Unusual and unnerving discoveries will emerge as the world warms.
Recent discoveries have been made on the retreating shores of Nevada's Lake Mead. The Associated Press reported that low water levels made for an eerie boat graveyard.
Human remains were found at least six times since May when the water levels in the dam plummeted.
According to a forensic anthropologist who consults with the Clark County coroner's office, there is a chance that more bodies will turn up.
Human remains of missing persons are likely to be revealed as the water level continues to fall.
It's not just one body of water. Some locations along the Mississippi River have seen their water levels fall in the last decade.
In October, low water levels along the Mississippi River's banks revealed a 19th-century old ship, skeletal remains, and a rare fossil jaw from an ancient American lion.
There are at least two once-submerged villages in Spain that have come back.
After a dam on the Spanish-Portuguese border was drained due to a lack of water, the village of Aceredo came back to life. The Associated Press reported that the 11th century Romanesque church in Spain's Vilanova de Sau was exposed when the water level in the lake dropped.
According to a growing body of research, global temperatures are warming and glaciers are retreating. Previously frozen remains are being unveiled.
According to William Taylor, an archaeologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, melting ice exposed ancient tools, rope, spears, and arrows.
Taylor wrote in The Conversation that the melting ice gives scientists a small window of time to secure objects before they get damaged or degrade.
Two sets of human remains were found in the Swiss Alps in August, after the glaciers melted. The plane parts found on the glacier were from a plane that crashed on the glacier in 1968, according to a statement from the local police.
More than 50 years ago, the technical means to recover aircraft wreck were limited. The police said in the statement that it's possible that other pieces of the crashed plane could be released from the ice.
Ancestors of Indigenous tribes that lived in Florida are usually buried along the shore.
Hurricane Nicole eroded parts of the east Florida coastline and unearthed a Native American burial ground that dates back hundreds of years.
The bones are thought to have come from a Native American burial ground. Tina Osceola is a member of the Seminole tribe in Florida. We know that.
Climate change is thought to be causing storms to intensify and cause more and more sand to erode from beaches.
Hurricanes have found Indigenous remains before. The ancient Native American bones were found in the same area of the eastern Florida coast as a result of a weakened Hurricane.
