  1. Residents fear houses could fall into ocean and nothing is being done
    By Jacinta Counihan

    Residents living on an idyllic stretch of the NSW far south coast are demanding action to protect their homes from erosion.

  2. Warming seas can threaten the hidden relationship that supports seagrass meadows

    "Seagrasses are often overlooked, but they are among the most important coastal habitats on Earth."

    "Our findings highlight an important idea: the impacts of climate change on seagrasses can’t be understood by looking at the plants alone. The microbial communities living in the sediment can also influence how these plants respond to warming. "

    "This has important implications for conservation and restoration. Around the world, seagrass meadows are declining due to coastal development, pollution and climate change. "

  7. The #Beach is protected from #Erosion by the placement of large boulders. This one caught my eye because of the interest colours and patterns on it and the fact that it obviously not been subject to epochs of erosion, otherwise it would be smooth.

  8. Shorelines receding, worsening storms and coastal erosion. Who pays?

    "We've got kilometres and kilometres of coast. So much of our housing [is] built on coastal communities that we are walking into an absolutely existential crisis for some of these regional towns and councils."

    "Someone is going to need to pay for the costs of climate change, and at the moment, it is being picked up by taxpayers and ratepayers while these fossil fuel companies make huge profits."

    "Companies based in Australia have contributed significantly to the climate crisis, and it's only fair for them to have to pay for some of those costs." >>

  16. Wounds

    (Some more entries from an ongoing series of photographs about the effects of climate change and increasing erosion in the Alps, here focused at very localized scales & occurrences to make them more concrete, communicable and less abstract...)

    1) Exposed chunks of bedrock underneath the shrinking Langtauferer glacier

    2) Heavily eroded forest in the Lechtal Alps

    3) A dried out alpine lake in the Dolomites

    4) Accumulated rock fall debris near Hahntennjoch (one of Austria's mountain passes most prone to avalanches, falling rocks, and mudslides)

    See alt text for more info. Prints (analog & digital) available for purchase soon.

  19. Regenerar frente a resistir: el cambio de paradigma que España ya ejecuta en su litoral.

    Alejar los paseos marítimos del oleaje ha dejado de ser un tabú político para convertirse en la única solución viable. Especialistas explican por qué devolver el espacio a las dunas es una oportunidad y no una derrota.

    Escribe Eduardo Robaina.

  20. #Louisiana has lost about 2,000 square miles of land to #coastal #erosion since the 1930s—a land mass about the size of Delaware.

    #PlaqueminesParish, the state’s southernmost parish, juts into the water where the #MississippiRiver meets the #GulfOfMexico. The parish, which is crisscrossed with #oil & #gas canals, has already lost nearly half of its size in the last century as #SeaLevels rise because of #ClimateChange.

  21. #SCOTUS agreed Friday that #energy companies facing lawsuits over #environmental damage to Louisiana’s #coast from #oil & #gas production can move the challenges from #state courts into friendlier #federal venues.

    The ruling is a significant victory for oil companies, led by #Chevron & #ExxonMobil, in their legal battle with #Louisiana state officials over who should pay for the state’s #coastal #erosion. The companies have been supported by the #Trump admin.

  22. A quotation from Thoreau

    The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    A Week on the Concord and Marrimack Rivers, “Wednesday” (1849)

  23. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🏜️🌊 #AntelopeCanyon is described by #Navajo Medicine Man Adair Klopfenstein as the breathing holes of the #earth where the winds reside.

    These slot #canyons form over tens of thousands of years as turbulent #water and #sand carve through the #landscape. #Geology professor Dr. Kelin Whipple explains how flash floods transport boulders and create vortices that cut deep into the earth.

  25. Here’s a #Granite #Bolder resting on a plinth. It often looks like they’ve been artificially placed there as works of art but it’s only the forces of #geology and #erosion which has done that. You can see the reservoir in the background.
