New journal paper in Nature Communications – Timescales for detecting a significant acceleration in sea level rise
Very pleased to announce our new paper – published this month in Nature Communcations, called ‘Timescales for detecting a significant acceleration in sea level rise’.
The paper is open access and you can read it here:

Oyster reefs could provide ‘dynamic’ sea walls that outpace sea-level rise
Very interesting idea – http://www.eenews.net/stories/1059998611!
You can embrace water – working against nature is not a solution

Storm surge animation – Super Typhoon Haiyan
Animation of storm surge of Super Typhoon Haiyan making landfall:
The model predicts maximum surge levels exceeding 5 metres near Tacloban City. The peak surge occurs some time after the cyclone has made landfall. At this point, the winds near Tacloban City change direction from easterly to southeasterly, and the cyclone starts pushing water into San Pedro and San Pablo Bay (i.e. the northwesterly part of Leyte Gulf).
Scientists develop new method to help global coasts adapt to sea-level rise
Scientists develop new method to help global coasts adapt to sea-level rise. This work was done by Prof. Robert Nicholls with whom I co-direct the engineering in the coastal environment MSc.
