6-12 inches? Won't that cover MDR?
El Nino is growing, and becoming more dangerous than ever, because we've allowed the richest of the rich, the sociopaths' club, to rule us with their hateful, racist, corrupt, con artist insanity. All they give a rat's ass about is money. Not life. Not kids. Not the future. Not you. Not me. Not the country. Not the planet. They are selfish beyond belief. Their beliefs are born of stimulant abuse - the things they say are what my parents' generation called "drugs talking." Yet the people of this planet won't rise up, and worse than that, continue to use their abusive AI products.
You're all doing this to us, arm-in-arm, like you're at a HS pep rally. Go team.

From Fragmentation To Integration - A Review Of Data–Model Integration In Land Subsidence Research

--
H/T @manonzero current drought conditions, increasing pressure on ecosystems, and ongoing climate adaptation challenges, land subsidence is receiving growing attention worldwide.
For anyone wanting to learn more about land subsidence, or get a refresher, [the authors] provide an overview of the processes involved, the ways it can be measured or estimated, the models used to simulate it, and how observations and models can be combined, [their] new [#openaccess] review paper [link above] may be of interest!
A central message of the paper is that understanding and managing land subsidence requires bringing these different sources of information together…”
--
“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Presents a comprehensive synthesis that unifies all major elements of integral land-subsidence research.
• Defines the methodological steps needed for full integration and positions them within the broader challenges posed by subsidence.
• Brings together and distills the key components of data, modelling, and integration into a coherent framework.
ABSTRACT: Land subsidence, the sinking of the Earth’s surface, is a multi-faceted hazard driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors, and poses significant risk to environments, ecosystems, and society. Despite decades of growing research output, substantial gaps persist between investigations on the diversity of causes, reflected in data and model insufficiency. These gaps hinder the understanding of the issue and impede the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Many studies have urged to include all identified subsidence processes acting in a single area in an integral framework, for which a complex analysis has not systematically been outlined before. Therefore, [they] focus here on bridging the gaps between various technical research disciplines involved. [They] stress the urgency for an integral approach that combines observations with subsurface information of all known subsidence processes in an area, and [they] appeal for utilizing them in physics-guided data integrations. Only then can all subsidence drivers be understood, and effective mitigation measures designed. [They] outline the elements for an integral approach in categorical tables and schematized figures, and [they] discuss the main opportunities and challenges in a stepwise workflow. Leveraging these opportunities naturally leads to more robust, scalable, and policy-relevant solutions and fosters a more sustainable future…”

The impacts of fossil fuel emissions are gnawing on Australia's coastline
"Australia's exposure to current and future risks from the sea, including coastal erosion, king tides and rising sea levels, was "very high", The Insurance Council of Australia.
"Sea level rise caused by climate change would mean the issue was not going away, and Australians needed to consider what we valued about our coastline."
"Why a seawall might not protect both beaches and homes from coastal erosion...We'll end up with a giant wall around our beaches, or around our whole coastline. That's not saving the landscape, that's saving the infrastructure. We've got to slow down development and look at what we value about the beach."
Professor Kennedy "said governments would need to consider buying back beachfront land and rehabilitating it, to protect both infrastructure and the beach."

"Relatively warm ocean currents are weakening the base of Antarctica's enormous Thwaites glacier, whose demise could raise sea levels by as much as 7 feet. To separate the ice from those warmer ocean waters, scientists have put forward an audacious plan to erect a massive underwater curtain."

Thwaites Glacier won’t collapse like dominoes as feared, study finds, but that doesn’t mean the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is stable

Ocean water is rushing miles underneath the ‘#DoomsdayGlacier’ with potentially dire impacts on #SeaLevelRise
By Laura Paddison, CNN
Published May 22, 2024"The #ThwaitesGlacier in #WestAntarctica — nicknamed the 'Doomsday Glacier' because its collapse could cause catastrophic sea level rise — is the world’s widest glacier and roughly the size of Florida. It’s also #Antarctica’s most vulnerable and unstable glacier, in large part because the land on which it sits slopes downward, allowing ocean waters to eat away at its ice.
"#Thwaites, which already contributes 4% to global #Sea Level rise, holds enough ice to raise sea levels by more than 2 feet. But because it also acts as a natural dam to the surrounding ice in West Antarctica, scientists have estimated its complete collapse could ultimately lead to around 10 feet of sea level rise — a catastrophe for the world’s #coastal communities."
