Assessment of Shoreline Change in Southeast Ireland Using Geospatial Techniques

"... KEY INSIGHTS:
• Coastlines are highly dynamic — 57% accretion vs 42% erosion
• Strong contrasts between east-facing (Irish Sea) and south-facing (Atlantic) coasts
• Identification of critical erosion hotspots (e.g., Tramore) and accretion zones in embayments
• Coastal change is driven by a combination of wave climate, sediment availability, geology, and human activity

Pyramiden von Melnik
Die geologische Struktur dieser Formationen besteht vor allem aus lockeren Sandsteinen und Tonen, die sich seit dem Ende des Tertiärs ablagerten. Erosion durch Regen und Wind formt noch heute immer neue Flanken, Grate und kleine Gipfel.

Pyramiden von Melnik
Diese bizarr zerfurchte Landschaft wirkt wie aus Lehm und Licht geformt. Wind und Niederschlag haben hier weiche Sand- und Tonablagerungen über Jahrtausende zu Türmen und Rippen modelliert. In der Dämmerung leuchten die Flanken in warmem Farben.

...on (exceptions possible, OFC.)

Needless to say, as we have seen from disaster reports from #Greece and #Italy, for instance, in recent years, the rate of top-soil #Erosion in the areas hit by such extreme-weather events, is bound to increase exponentially initially. This, in turn--and this is my understanding not being a #Climatologist either--will feed into the #Desertification feedback loop.

In short:
These catastrophic events may not be decades away anymore, but...

Geopark Aigou Nikolaou
felsiges, steiniges Gelände mit alten Karren-Spuren aus der Römerzeit; erodierte Küste mit Klippen, die durch Plattentektonik und Wellen geformt wurden; steile Abstürze fallen ins Meer. Meine Wanderung hier verbindet Geologie mit der rauen Wildnis der Mani.
