New Orleans is sinking by up to two inches every year - with projections that much of the region could be underwater by 2050 .

Two dozen coastal cities are at higher risk of sinking over the next three decades .

Virginia Tech study identified 24 locations that are battling a combination of sinking land and rising sea levels.

By 2050 , no more than 16 square-miles of Pacific urban homestead faced a serious risk from rising seas and the exacerbating role of heavyweight skyscraper sinking.

Somewhere under 30,000 people and 15,000 home properties are at risk.

The speed at which sea level is now rising, according to the new study, continues to climb faster.
