What immediate actions is the Zarautz city council taking to protect its beach from rising sea levels and storm damage?

The Basque government's study shows that Zarautz beach in Spain could lose 21,000 square meters (31%) of its area by 2050 due to rising sea levels, and almost entirely disappear by 2100. To mitigate this, Zarautz's city council, with EU support, will spend €1.5 million to raise a section of the seawall by 50 centimeters and add other protective measures.

How does this expedition's approach differ from previous research, and what are the advantages of this new methodology?

The expedition's close-proximity navigation (500 meters to 1 kilometer from glaciers) offers significantly more detailed data collection than previous expeditions. This approach, coupled with the diverse expertise of the team, enables a comprehensive analysis of Antarctic ice sheet dynamics and its impact on global sea levels. The data gathered will contribute to improved climate models and predictions.

Mediterranean Tsunami Risk to Increase 10-30% in 50 Years Due to Climate Change

A 10-30% increase in Mediterranean tsunami probability is projected over the next 50 years due to climate change-induced sea level rise (currently 4 mm/year) and coastal geological movements, increasing the risk for over 150 million people in coastal areas.

How do rising sea levels, coastal geological movements, and increased seismic activity in the Mediterranean interact to exacerbate tsunami risks?

The increased tsunami risk in the Mediterranean is linked to the combined effects of rising sea levels (currently around 4 mm/year, accelerating) and coastal geological movements. This amplifies the impact of tsunamis, creating a greater hazard for densely populated coastal regions like eastern Sicily, North Africa, and the Po delta. The studies highlight that the impacts of seismic activity in the region will be more significant in the future.

What is the state of glaciers and sea ice in 2023?

Glaciers experienced their most significant retreat in 2023, with Switzerland losing about 10% of glacial volume in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. Sea ice extent was also exceptionally low in the Antarctic and the Arctic, reflecting the overall warming trend.

What is plate tectonics?

Plate tectonics is the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates, which are large pieces of the Earth's crust and upper mantle. These plates float on the semi-molten asthenosphere and interact with each other, causing earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
