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

โ€œRivers are critical resources that affect everything from watersheds to agriculture to energy. But rivers, in turn, have been impacted by humans, often in the form of hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and wells.
A new [Cornell] projectโ€ฆ will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 yearsโ€ฆโ€

โ€œThe Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shieldโ€ฆโ€

Do respiratory viruses interact in ways that change epidemic risk? ๐Ÿฆ โš”๏ธ

New research from scientists at the the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control and WorldPop shows flu infections can temporarily suppress COVID-19. Using spatial data & modelling, the study highlights how virus interactions shape epidemics and improve forecasting.
