Florida International University: Researchers install 3D-printed seawall tiles to support coastal protection and marine life. “The system uses modular, interlocking tiles that can be attached to existing seawalls. Each tile is robotically printed and designed with grooves, ridges, crevices and small pools that create more complex surfaces for marine organisms to attach, shelter and grow.”

How successive #meteotsunami and storm activity disrupts #saltmarsh vegetation

Clare Lewis, Jonathan Dale, Jessica Neumann, Tim Smyth, Hannah Cloke, October 2025

Abstract
"Meteotsunami (#MeteorologicalTsunami) are globally occurring progressive shallow water waves with a period of between 2 and 120 min which result from sudden pressure changes and wind stress due to moving atmospheric systems. These waves are known to cause destruction to and loss of assets. Currently, there is no research into the impact of meteotsunami on #CoastalEcosystems such as saltmarshes, despite the significant role saltmarsh play in providing vital habitats for resident and migrating birds, natural flood defences and climate mitigation. As such the restoration of saltmarshes has emerged as a pivotal focus within the UK Government's environmental policy framework.

"This paper examines the impact of two meteotsunami events (2016 and 2021) on saltmarsh vegetation in the southwestern #UK. An assessment of the vegetation pre and post event was undertaken using high resolution satellite imagery and the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (#NDVI). Results revealed that the 2016 meteotsunami exacted minimal vegetation change with a decrease in NDVI from 0.26 to 0.23 and a temporary reduction in coverage of 40%, suggesting a potential resilience to single episodic disturbances. In contrast, the 2021 event, compounded by multiple significant storms and additional meteotsunami, led to a decline in NDVI values from 0.44 to 0.22 and a temporary reduction in vegetation coverage of 66%.

"Both events indicated a short-term disruption with a relatively rapid rebound (within one to three months). However, the longer-term effects of such a disruption on the saltmarsh ecosystem need to be investigated further.
This comparative analysis underscores the complex interactions between meteotsunami, climatic phenomena, and coastal vegetation dynamics, highlighting the necessity for ongoing monitoring and research to understand the resilience mechanisms of such ecosystems in the face of increasing #ClimaticVariability and #ExtremeWeather events."

Dear #Mariners and followers of our group:

This is just a quick note to let you know that our treasured #EarlyModernMaritimeStudies group now has over 190 members! Can you spread the word about the group to colleagues and friends who work on the #Oceans, on #CoastalAreas, #PortCities, on the #SlaveryArchive and so many related topics, so we might hit 200 followers by the end of the week? Thanks! This is pretty exciting 😊!

I’d like to call your attention to a group that may be of your interest. I created the @earlymodernmaritimestudies a few months ago with those of you whose work touches on the #Sea, on #PortCities, #CoastalAreas, #SlaveryArchive and related topics, in mind. our definition of "Early Modern" is expansive. If this group fits with your research program, please check us out and follow!

Current models of sea level rise suggest the most widespread impacts will occur after sea level has risen by several meters. But a new study finds the biggest increases in inundation will occur after the first 2 meters (6.6 feet) of sea level rise, covering more than twice as much land as older elevation models predicted. #ClimateCrisis #SeaLevelRise #NASA #coastalareas #sealevel #flooding https://phys.org/news/2023-01-worst-impacts-sea-earlier.html
