New Projections Reveal More Extreme Erosion on O’ahu’s Shores
O‘ahu’s sandy beaches are at risk. New research from the Coastal Research Collaborative (CRC) at the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa determined that 81% of O‘ahu’s coastline could experience erosion by 2100, with 40% of this loss happening by 2030.
UH Researcher Unveils New Model to Evaluate Impact of Extreme Events and Natural Hazards
When you’re on a sandy beach or the banks of a river, transformed by rolling waves or slightly still waters, it’s likely you’re not thinking about what happens just beneath the surface, where dirt and pollution are swirling and traveling through to new destinations.
Restoration Programs Won’t Save Coral Reefs
As coral bleaching and deaths become more widespread globally, experts are re-evaluating the benefits of restoration missions to reverse damage and protect some of the world’s most species-rich ecosystems.
