Above and upon #igneous #dikes
The feature sure looked like a #dike on #satellite view, and a ground check confirmed it. Probably a late #Triassic or early #Jurassic intrusion into #Proterozoic Dedham #Granite, as #Pangea rifted. At Black Rock #Beach, #Hingham, #Massachusetts, #NewEngland #geology USA.

The bill for #Richmond—the fourth-largest city in metropolitan #Vancouver, which includes the #VancouverInternationalAirport—to raise its own dikes against rising seas: $1 billion.”

Levels on the #WestCoast will rise more slowly, but the more urbanized coastline around #Vancouver and lower-lying communities will require massive upgrades to the #dikes keeping them dry.

Natte zooi achter de dijken. Nog wat kleur van vanochtend. Fijne avond alvast🌙

Long before #climateChange became a buzzword, #federal, #provincial and #municipal #governments failed to ensure that publicly-financed #projects such as #roads, #highways, #bridges, #publicTransit, #dikes, #water and #sewer mains, #hospitals and other #publicInfrastructure were properly maintained after they were built.
