Thank you @audreytrp for featuring our work on corals microatolls and mangroves in Singapore! @SeaLevelNTU @QuakesAndShakes @ginasarkawi @christabeltanwj @stressaholic @geoff677 @fangyi2110 @sea__shaw
Seawalls/ hard structures:70%
Mangrove/mudflat:16%
Sandy beaches:12%
Rocky shores:1%
These are Singapore’s mosaic coastlines, and all need diff protection fr erosion & rising sea levels.
We combine 4pgs in the paper in 1 mobile-friendly online story:

Good news — we are a part of the National Sea Level Programme. Our group will investigate the processes driving relative sea-level change in this region @SeaLevelNTU @EOS_SG @CoastalLabNTU @ScienceNTU straitstimes.com/singapore/e…

"If an ice sheet melts, its gravitational attraction decreases and sea levels around it can go down. Conversely, regions far from a melting ice sheet, such as Singapore, will see a rise in sea level greater than the global average," says Prof Ben Horton

Hear from sea level rise expert Ben Horton at @EOS_SG on what drives sea level rise, and how a melting Antarctica is contributing to this in this video:

New paper on RSL on the Sunda Shelf using coral microatolls from Xiu Wen Wan and colleagues. Interesting discussion of the challenges using these compared with other recent microatoll-based reconstructions that are inferred to be severely eroded sciencedirect.com/science/ar… – at Durham, England

The Earth lost a staggering 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. While the melting of ice bodies may occur far from Southeast Asia, they can affect us – but how? @NTU_ASE PhD student @fangyi2110 tells us more.

“You cannot put a sea wall everywhere. The other option is to try and live with sea-level rise. So this is where the marshes come in, they protect from erosion, they’ll absorb coastal waves.” - Professor Benjamin Horton @SeaLevelNTU #ClimateChange theguardian.com/environment/…

“Asia-Pacific is already the world’s most disaster-prone region. Unless we act fast, the climate crisis will make catastrophe a way of life for hundreds of millions of people in the region” - Professor Horton @SeaLevelNTU Full Article here: bit.ly/2Es1ilp
PRESS RELEASE: Record temperatures and #Covid19 are symptoms of planetary fever. Our analysis shows a dramatic 70% decline in online conversations about the climate globally. It's time we listen to our children and put the climate crisis back on the agenda bit.ly/2Es1ilp

Mangroves offer important #ecosystem services and help combat #ClimateChange. “Projects and policies designed to use coastal ecosystems to reduce vulnerability can also achieve other societal, environmental, and economic goals.” - Prof Horton @SeaLevelNTU
