Forecasting Coastal Evolution News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Coastal communities across the world are increasingly facing up to the huge threats posed by a combination of extreme storms and predicted rises in sea levels as a result of global climate change. However, scientists at the University of Plymouth have developed a simple algorithm-based model which accurately predicts how coastlines could be affected and—as a result—enables communities to identify the actions they might need to take in order to adapt. The Forecasting Coastal Evolution (ForCE) model has the potential to be a game-changing advance in coastal evolution science, allowing adapt...
