Adaptation time to magnified flood hazards underestimated when derived from tide gauge records by Erwin Lambert, Jeremy Rohmer, Gonéri Le Cozannet, Roderik S W van de Wal

“…However, tide gauges are commonly placed in wave-sheltered harbours where the contribution of waves to water levels is much smaller than at nearby wave-exposed coastlines such as beaches and dikes. In this study, we quantify doubling times at a variety of idealised shorelines based on modelled tides, storm surges and waves. …”

Morphological changes in the lower Lancang River due to extensive human activities by Peijia Wang, Kaidao Fu, Jiangcheng Huang, Xingwu Duan, Zaizhi Yang

“…Visual interpretation is used to extract the information and unify the interpretation standards of various localities, mainly including water bodies, sandbars, shorelines and beaches. Based on high-resolution remote sensing images, we analyzed the planforms, erosion and accretion conditions in Jinghongba (JHB) reach and Ganlanba (GLB) reach. …”

Community Engagement: An Integral Component of a Multifaceted Conservation Approach for the Transboundary Western Pacific Leatherback by Fitryanti Pakiding, Kartika Zohar, Alberto Y. T. Allo, Sinus Keroman, Deasy Lontoh, Peter H. Dutton, Manjula Tiwari

“…These remaining negative impacts need to be addressed by compensatory conservation actions elsewhere, e.g., at sea turtle nesting beaches. As a case study, we use the critically endangered leatherback sea turtle nesting population in Papua Barat, Indonesia, to illustrate the opportunity for conservatory offsets to fisheries bycatch across the Pacific. …”

Rockfall Hazard Assessment in Volcanic Regions Based on ISVS and IRVS Geomechanical Indices by Luis I. González de Vallejo, Luis E. Hernández-Gutiérrez, Ana Miranda, Mercedes Ferrer

“…These conditions have frequently precipitated slope instability, causing significant damage to housing, beaches, roads and other infrastructures. After applying these indices to a number of slopes representative of the island’s wide variety of geological, geomorphological and climatic conditions, the results obtained were compared with the actual behaviour of the slopes, determined from extensive rockfall inventory data and <i>in situ</i> geomechanical surveys.…”

Geometrical Analysis of the Inland Topography to Assess the Likely Response of Wave-Dominated Coastline to Sea Level: Application to Great Britain by Andres Payo, Chris Williams, Rowan Vernon, Andrew G. Hulbert, Kathryn A. Lee, Jonathan R. Lee

“…Our analysis suggests that 71% of the coast of GB is best described as gentle coast, including estuarine coastline or open coasts where back-barrier beaches can form. The remaining 29% is best described as cliff-type coastlines, for which the majority (57%) of the backshore slope values are negative, suggesting that a non-equilibrium trajectory will most likely be followed as a response to a rise in sea level. …”
