  1. While we are NOT on the subject of #ClimateChange, #Sealevelrise & #subsidence, here is a series of maps & aerials showing the progression of #landloss associated with Grande Terre Island at the lower end of Barataria Bay, LA, we've used in various reports. We finished work at Grande Terre in 2021. #archaeology

  2. "Assuming all #renewable [#energy] development locates on [some of #Alberta's best] land, the percentage of [such] #agricultural #landloss is estimated to be less than one per cent by 2041," says the #AlbertaUtilitiesCommission report, released Wednesday. "From 2019 to 2021, the largest driver of agricultural land loss was expansion of #pipelines and #industrial sites. Other key drivers… include #urban #residential #development, #mines and #wells, and #roads." #abpoli

  3. 1998, 2005, 2015 & 2020 aerials of the same area. In 2005 the 2 isles were underwater shoals. In 2015 they were sand bars. In 2020 only 1 remained. Looking at their progression, they might not reform. #landloss #Louisiana

  4. I don't remember if I posted this.
