“During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 metres high – the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now reveal that ocean swells act as storm ‘messengers’ - even though a storm may never make landfall, its swell can travel vast distances and bring destructive energy to distant coastlines...
This record merges data from satellites such as #SARAL, #Jason3, #Copernicus #Sentinel 3A and 3B, Copernicus #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich, #CryoSat and #CFOSAT…”

Managed retreat (Geomorphology 🏞️)

Managed retreat involves the purposeful, coordinated movement of people and buildings away from risks. This may involve the movement of a person, infrastructure, or community. It can occur in response to a variety of hazards such as flood, wildfire, or drought. Politicians, insurers, and residents are increasingly paying attention to managed retreat f...

Wairoa floods: Govt review says HBRC decision not to open bar early ‘surprising’

The review did not go as far as stating an earlier opening of the bar would have helped.

[be sure that many tropical islands ARE vanishing, like Tuvalu, and indeed many in the Maldives; this study is working to see why some are not or are not as fast as modeled (the extensive coastal engineering around the capital Male notwithstanding)]

Islands in the Maldives Were Expected to Vanish. Climate Science Tells Another Story.

Low-lying tropical island nations were expected to be early victims of rising seas. But research tells a surprising story: Many islands are stable. Some have even grown.
