Sand overexploitation, deforestation worsen coastal erosion: expert
The sea encroaches 30 to 50 metres in the Cua Dai ward annually (Photo: VNA) The overexploitation of sand, deforestation and natural disasters have led to increasingly serious erosion in many coastal areas of Vietnam, an expert has said. Deputy Director of the Vietnam Institute for Water Resources Research Tran Dinh Hoa pointed out the fact at a workshop in central Quang Nam province on September 7. Participants at the function, numbering around 200 specialists, said in Quang Nam alone, the simultaneous erosion and soil and sand settlement in the area of the Cua Dai Sea have worsened in recent...
This is climate change: Alaskan villagers struggle as island is chewed up by the sea

The barrier reef Kivalina calls home gets smaller and smaller with every storm. (Don Bartletti / Los Angeles Times) This is what climate change looks like, up close and personal. In this town of 403 residents 83 miles above the Arctic Circle, beaches are disappearing, ice is melting, temperatures are rising, and the barrier reef Kivalina calls home gets smaller and smaller with every storm. There is no space left to build homes for the living. The dead are now flown to the mainland so...
International Project Tracks Beach Pollution Dynamics
Bright pink dye used to mimic movement of contaminants off Imperial Beach and Tijuana Media Contact: Mario Aguilera | Phone: 858-534-3624 | Email: scrippsnews@ucsd.edu Project tracks pollution as well as movement of sediment and fish larvae. In an ambitious binational effort to investigate how pollution and other contaminants travel across and along beach waters, scientists from both sides of the border are leading a novel experiment at Imperial Beach and Coronado (south of San Diego), Calif., and Tijuana, Mexico. The National Science Foundation-funded project includes researchers from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Jacobs School of Engineering, and...
