News from the Sea
(and occasionally the other 30% of the planet)
Coastal erosion is reshaping our world, threatening homes, industries and culturally important places. By taking advantage of the unique conditions in the Dead Sea and leveraging modern ADCP technology, scientists in Israel are exploring how wind-driven waves and currents shape the coastlines and transport sediments along shores.
With marine life playing such a pivotal role in ocean health and providing a host of benefits for the planet, data on life below the surface can help drive informed decision-making. Across the European Union (EU), research infrastructure, large-scale research projects, and intergovernmental initiatives are harnessing marine life observations for a healthier ocean future.
Sitting at the forefront of climate change impacts, developing coastal resilience and adaptation plans is essential for small island nations. Good plans need good data, which is why the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is working with small island stakeholders to harness Earth Observations for early warning systems, monitoring systems, and more.
