‘On A Whole Other Level’ - Rapid Snow Melt-Off In American West Stuns Scientists

Experts say brutal March heat has left critical snowpack at record-low levels – and key basins in uncharted territory

‘This Feels Fragile’ - How A Satellite-Smashing Chain Reaction Could Spiral Out Of Control [space junk]

Today, the space around Earth can no longer be considered empty. More than 30,000 objects are in orbit, and that figure is rising exponentially

[I used to shore dive in the Straits Of Juan de Fucca, Washington State side, and Crescent Lake - so I chose that area as a CoNED example to explore; good memories, including of the 18 Wheeler Burger with pie & coffee in Joyce, WA on drizzly days]

Assessment of Shoreline Change in Southeast Ireland Using Geospatial Techniques
--
https://doi.org/10.3390/su18073280 <-- shared paper
--
"... 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
