Tidal flats, the muddy reaches of estuaries unveiled at low tide, support rich ecosystems and fisheries worldwide. But these habitats are under threat from climate change, as sea level rise overwhelms the landscape and heavy rainfall scours away the sediment – impacts that scientists are only just beginning to explore. In an effort to understand …[Read More]
Climate change is having a profound impact on the planet. According to several reports, 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average temperature over the 12-month period from February 2023 to January 2024 exceeding the 1.5 °C threshold above pre-industrial levels. Climate change acts as a risk multiplier, as its impacts transcend …[Read More]
