FEMA quietly removes access to New England coastal erosion hazard tool

Planners and resilience experts say long-term erosion maps had been critical

commonwealthbeacon.org/environ

The Coastal Erosion Hazard viewer on the Federal Emergency Management Agency website "predicted erosion risk across the coast for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, and until recently was publicly accessible."

Anything that threatens monetization of fossil hydrocarbons is itself now under acute threat, in the US geophysical research establishment. This is a very cheaply purchased outcome of the last presidential election (shockingly cheap; no wonder Trump can bankrupt casinos-- he's incompetent even at corruption).

It would be good to have a system-wide instrument for checking whether such research is still possible (see acknowledgements).

Melting #glaciers caused almost 2cm of #sealevelrise this century, study reveals
Decades-long research shows world’s glaciers collectively lost 6.542tn tonnes of #ice between 2000 and 2023, causing an 18mm (0.7in) rise in global #sealevel.
Regional losses were highly variable; the Antarctic and subantarctic islands lost 2% of their volume but central Europe’s glaciers lost 39%.
36% more ice having melted between 2012 and 2023 compared with the previous decade.

"...creeping up Millimeters year by year. [...] The map makers need to get ready to do some redrawing not in 2100 but 5-10 years from now"
