    “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…”

  6. Decoupling Of Surface Water Storage From Precipitation In Global Drylands Due To Anthropogenic Activity

    “The availability of surface water in global drylands is essential for both human society and ecosystems. However, the long-term drivers of change in surface water storage, particularly those related to anthropogenic activities, remain unclear. Here [they] use[d] multi-mission remote sensing data to construct monthly time series of water storage changes from 1985 to 2020 for 105,400 lakes and reservoirs in global drylands. An increase of 2.20 km³ per year in surface water storage is found primarily due to the construction of new reservoirs. For lakes and old reservoirs (constructed before 1983), conversely, the trend in storage is minor when aggregated globally, but they dominate surface water storage trends in 91% of individual global dryland basins. Further analysis reveals that long-term storage changes in these water bodies are primarily linked to anthropogenic factors - including human-induced warming and water-management practices - rather than to precipitation changes, as previously thought. These findings reveal a decoupling of surface water storage from precipitation in global drylands, raising concerns about societal and ecosystem sustainability…”
