Quantification and implications of change in organic carbon bearing coastal dune cliffs: A multiscale analysis from the Northumberland coast, UK

open access: yes, 2015
Eroding coastlines composed of sequences of till, carbon rich peat and sand layers are characteristic of many formerly glaciated coastlines due to the interplay of relative land and sea levels.

Lead Halide Perovskite Photoelectrocatalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lead halide perovskite semiconductors have emerged as highly promising materials for solar fuel and chemical synthesis. This perspective discusses advances made in the rational photoelectrode design to improve solar‐to‐chemical conversion, product scope, and scalability.

Evolution of coastal erosion in Palmarin (Senegal)

open access: yes, 2020
Coastal erosion is a major concern in Senegal, which is increasing over time. In the Palmarin peninsula, in the Saloum estuary, previous studies showed shoreline retreat rates of 1.20 m/yr in 1982 and 2.20 m in 1954–2002; our results show an increase to ...

Vulnerability to watershed erosion and coastal deposition in the tropics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Over half of the global population is projected to live in the tropics by 2050. Sustainable land development will be challenged by enhanced sediment erosion and deposition, which can negatively impact water quality and ecosystem services in inland and ...

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Research on comprehensive assessment of coastal erosion intensity based on multi index method

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The intensity of coastal erosion is a measure of the strength of erosion processes affecting coastal areas. Traditionally, assessments of coastal erosion intensity have relied on singular indices, such as the rate of shoreline retreat or erosion, often ...

Les risques naturels littoraux dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France

open access: yesVertigO, 2010
The coast of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region largely consists of wide sandy beaches and coastal dunes, locally interrupted by estuaries, coastal settlements and some rocky cliffs.

Variability in terrestrial characteristics and erosion rates on the Alaskan Beaufort Sea coast

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Arctic coastal environments are eroding and rapidly changing. A lack of pan-Arctic observations limits our ability to understand controls on coastal erosion rates across the entire Arctic region.

Mapping the “Supply–Demand–Flow” of Ecosystem Services for Ecosystem Management in China

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a “supply–demand–flow” framework clarifies how ecosystem services move between regions by distinguishing potential and actual supply and demand. Using integrated biophysical–socioeconomic modeling, nine services in China were mapped.

Advances in Remote Sensing and Deep Learning in Coastal Boundary Extraction for Erosion Monitoring

open access: yesGeomatics
Erosion is a critical geological process that degrades soil and poses significant risks to human settlements and natural habitats. As climate change intensifies, effective coastal erosion management and prevention have become essential for our society ...
