A relatively well informed article about the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan Thames Estuary 2100! They do miss reasons for why the plan is adaptive & one can't/wouldn't want to just start building a new barrier right away. Also not enough emphasis on walls & embankments theguardian.com/environment/20

Once-a-century extreme precipitation could occur every 30 years in the US by 2100, according to a new study. The researchers used climate models and historical data to project how the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events will change under different warming scenarios. The study warns that such events could pose serious risks for flooding, infrastructure damage, and public health, especially in urban areas.

A potent report on 's massive challenge (along with that pesky megadrought challenge). Just this.. "Most of the state’s more than 20,000 miles of flood banks and channels are operated by local governments, and many miles are on unregulated private land."

Such an important point about building mapping methods that are adaptive facing evolving data streams, science insights and community needs - @deepseadawn of course. Was *just* discussing data with @DrHultquist! Related post: revkin.substack.com/p/study-fi

, , , highways and trains.

I want all the dams (all obsolete) on the taken down.

Looking for motivation to get MetroNorth and various DOTs to pay and advocate dam removal, sediment testing, before and after monitoring, etc.

The above sparked the thought that maybe there should be economic studies on impact of Fenland farmland being out of action. What would 25% of the Fens being unable to produce food mean for prices?
I asked ChatGPT - no firm answer but seems likely there are mean to estimate it! Full chat here, also a good example of the power of ChatGPT too docs.google.com/document/d/1zK

Big seawalls cutting people off from the water? This same thing could happen in London if we don't get serious about delivering the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan now! It's not just about a new Thames Barrier. London still has a chance to design good waterfronts. But time is running out. buff.ly/3QFKx7h

Nice video from the Thames Estuary 2100 team at the Environment Agency on tidal flood risk in London and the Thames Estuary. Features a few of the folks on the team I used to manage! youtu.be/SicYy_RZw0k
