@abhijith this ⬆️ is one of the best articles i have ever read on the lived experience of climate change - the intersection btw rising sea levels, , government interventions and individual strategies to make a living, including migration. I loved the role of food in it too.
I wonder whether you might consider adding - set up to try and capture exactly all this, from throughout the world

This is a video of Town iin State, from 3 days ago. The town is on the verge of disappearing due to sea incursion. My heart goes out to the people of Ayetoro - who already have so little and who have not contributed to this in any way. More people knowing might help Ayetoro so please watch and share widely.

Ice sheets have in the past collapsed at rate of 600metres a day…that’s 20 times faster than previously thought. It means ice scientists thought might take 200 years to melt, could actually be gone in 20 years. That has serious implications for sea level rise and anyone living on or near the coast.

Thanks @micefearboggis for this superbly readable paper! Findings are a big surprise, too; would love a sister piece (in same style:) looking at alongside physical geography

Singapore Underwater uses virtual reality to show how Singapore might look in the future if global warming leads to rising sea levels. Singapore Underwater explains the reasons why sea levels are rising around the world. The visualization also looks at how Singapore might try to mitigate against rising seas and the possible impact of land loss and saltwater contamination of the country's farmland & reservoirs.
