Coastal erosion

Abstract Climate change in today’s world has become of great concern due to its effects in the environment. Globally, climate change has greatly influenced ecosystems and the existence of organisms. This is further extending its effects to regional areas such as Kenya, whose ecosystem is not spared by the changing climate. Despite having natural causes, anthropogenic factors are widely increasing and causing climate change undisputed. Therefore, human activities are the main contributors of climate

Even in dry areas mass movement is present, as wind will erode slopes causing them to become weak and after a period of continual erosion the slope will eventually give out (Figure 3). Wind Wind transport is currently a dominant process throughout continental Australia. As land has a lower heat capacity than that of the surrounding bodies of water, it heats up faster tha

Lakes are man- made water bodies own by the National Trust, Stackpole National Nature Reserve and the lakes are made up of four hallow lakes (about -2.5m deep) and is formed by frowning and damming three valleys in the Carboniferous Limestone of coastal Pembrokeshire valleys in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. (Overleaf figure 1.). And Bosherston lakes is managed by the National Trust in partnership with the Country Council of Wales and have been classified under the EC Habitat Directive

Michigan’s literally translation from the Ojibwa nation is “Large Lake” but the natives know it by the “Great Lakes State.” These names come from the history and prominence of the water features throughout the state. The beginning of shaping the current landscape of the state was with the glaciers. Glaciers are large bodies of ice that travel across land leaving behind deposits and reshaping the land as it moves. The most common features are moraines, drumlins, eskers, till plains, valley trains

In Bangladesh as an example, the tidal increase of water threatens citizens’ lives, pushes them to flee their homes and undermine their resilience chances (Francis& Maguire, 2016). Additionally, the implications of sea level on coastal environments are predicted to be more critical, resulting in land loss and abandonment of some islands and atolls with a necessity to relocate the local inhabitants in other lands (Yotova, 2009). Therefore, it is crucial to consider how the mounting

commercial interest mostly rely on drilling, mining and transportation development. However, Arctic’s development not only will lead to economical profits but also will bring international conflicts. Due to this, a Sovereignty by the five Arctic’s coastal countries such as Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and United States is essential. Moreover, Arctic’s climate change is happening right now due to human induced factors (Isted, 2009) and Arctic’s development will lead to environmental damage (Johnston

When I was young, I used to refrain from going down to the river bank at my uncle’s camp. I hated it because I was always afraid that I would fall. It was steep and so much higher than the river it surrounded. As a child, I never stopped to wonder why the land was so much higher than the water. Looking back now, it seems very simple. The water shaped the land. Although I experienced this on a very small level, we see it on an enormous scale every day. Throughout Michigan and even throughout

Stradbroke Island’s sandmining industry grew from modest beginnings – where as early as 1948 hand mining using shovels and trucks on the beach was established. Over numerous decades this soon developed into present days use of large-scale dredging. The establishment of aerial ropeways to transport minerals for processing to Dunwich began in 1956 where the commencement of dredge mining was initiated. Only a decade later, the concentrations of the rich black mineral being mined were exhausted to the

Throughout the world, coral reefs have died off due to a chemical process known as bleaching. NOAA states in “What is coral bleaching?”, bleaching is the by-product of corals getting too warm; when corals get too warm they expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues, which causes them to turn completely white. Today, the remaining coral reefs are being stressed by the human inhabitants who exist upon the land masses from which these reefs neighbor; which, in turn, has caused these remaining

I’m Isaiah Pierre-Louis and my senior project is on Red Rocks and the residential conflict happening around the park. I chose my project because, I love music. My goal in life is to become a DJ/Producer and perform amazing shows with awesome visuals. I thought to myself and came up with a great topic to base my project around and made sure I could still include strict details on Red Rocks. When I first heard about the project I thought I would just have to base it around something I wanted to do;
