[“The index complements site-specific flood and erosion modelling.”]
H/T @kevin Walsh | PhD Researcher at University College Cork
“In this paper [1st link above], [the authors] seek to answer the question “what is the relative distribution of exposure to coastal hazards around the Irish coast, and where can coastal habitats potentially reduce exposure?”
The method [they] chose to achieve this was the Coastal Vulnerability Model (CVM), within the InVEST software suite. This involves combining the key physical and climatic variables which can show us where along the coast might be most adversely affected by extreme winds, powerful waves and surges, and sea level rise.
It also reveals the potential protection provided by coastal habitats, such as dunes and saltmarsh, as well as populations and sites of cultural heritage located within zones deemed “Very High Exposure”.
[They] tested variations to the model, including seeing how the results change when certain variables are left out, what happens if we add in other variables, and how ranking choices impact exposure distribution. The results show that these choices, especially the ranking methods, can have large impacts on hazard distribution and the overall interpretation of the results. However, [they] found that the CVM quintile based approach was most suitable for Ireland, as it reveals high exposure sites on the east coast, which tends to be overlooked when different methods are applied.
[The H/T] also prepared an interactive map, where you can view the results in detail [2nd link above]
There’s a lot of work ongoing in this space around Ireland, [they] hope this will be a valuable contribution towards sustainable management of our coastline…”

As permafrost degrades due to climate warming, intensified chemical rock weathering in river catchments creates a geological carbon sink that can significantly offset the biological release of carbon dioxide.

Result of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) created from combined median composites of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery — somewhere in the Sudanese desert.
This PCA composite brings out contrasts between lithologies, structural domains, drainage patterns, and surface materials, highlighting features that are nearly invisible in standard RGB representations.
And yes — it also happens to look stunning.

Exploring large-scale landscape structures with a simple Principal Component Analysis (PCA) applied to a MODIS composite.
The PCA reveals striking contrasts in surface materials, vegetation patterns, and terrain transitions across western Canada — from the Rocky Mountains into the prairies and the Canadian Shield.
Even with moderate-resolution MODIS data, spectral variability produces a surprisingly rich view of regional geography and geomorphology.#RemoteSensing #EarthObservation #Geology #PCA #MODIS #OpenData #GIS #QGIS #Geomorphology #Geoscience #RStats #Lithology #GeoDataArt #GeoSpectralArt #BorealForest #Taiga #Canada #Alberta

Result of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based on combined median composites of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery — somewhere in the desert of Sudan.
The PCA highlights contrasts between different lithologies, structural domains, and surface materials, revealing subtle geological features that are hard to distinguish in standard RGB composites.
And yes — it also looks simply beautiful.

[those in the spatial hydrology ‘world’ have long been incredibly impressed by Dan Coe’s imagery and cartography, here is a wonderful article on cartography & science with his visual arts quality]
“Cartographer Daniel Coe uses relative elevation data, primarily from plane-mounted lasers called lidar, to visualize Earth’s natural features, like rivers and floodplains. His stunning river maps reveal stories hidden in historical sediment and past channels carved by the water, as it twists and turns through both landscape and time…”

“ • A survey of Lake Michigan located at least 40 large craters on the lakebed.
• Initial studies highlighted the spots as unknown shapes, but additional research revealed the craters are filled with marine life.
• Researchers expect to investigate further, seeing how these craters formed and if they’re really sinkholes…"
