The researchers’ simulations showed that wetlands that grow in estuaries, such as salt marshes, can reduce water levels by up to 2 metres and provide protection far inland up estuary channels.

No More Cone? Psychology Researchers Offer Better Tool for Visualizing Hurricane Danger
When a hurricane threatens to make landfall, forecasters offer a barrage of informational tools to communicate the risk of it coming through coastal and inland communities, so residents can prepare for its impact.
How Climate Change and Fires Are Shaping the Forests of the Future
As temperatures rise, the risk of devastating forest fires is increasing. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are using artificial intelligence to estimate the long-term impact that an increased number of forest fires will have on forest ecosystems.
Economic Impacts of Flooding
Sea-level rise threatens to produce more frequent and severe flooding in coastal regions and is expected to cause trillions of dollars in damages globally if no action is taken to mitigate the issue.
Stanford Researchers Say Solar Radio Signals Could Be Used to Monitor Melting Ice Sheets
A new method for seeing through ice sheets using radio signals from the sun could enable cheap, low-power and widespread monitoring of ice sheet evolution and contribution to sea-level rise.
Chemistry Discovery Could Remove Micropollutants From Environment
Army-funded research identified a new chemistry approach that could remove micropollutants from the environment.
