Coastal Erosion Induced by Human Activities: A Northwest Bohai Sea Case Study
Using mooring hydrodynamic observation, cross-shore profiles, and topographic-map and satellite-image comparisons, this study shows dramatic coastal erosion on the Qinhuangdao coast (northeast Bohai Sea, China). Sediment starvation induced by dams mainly caused this fast coastal retreat.
Winter Storm Nemo hit the US east coast
Extreme weather has already pounded communities around the world this year with extreme heat, wild fires, and floods in Australia, record heat in southern Africa and Patagonia while a cold wave hit India and China.
