United Kingdom: Coastal retreat plan to curb floods

BBC: A scheme to combat flooding by surrendering land to the sea will be completed on Monday on the south coast. The 28m "managed realignment" at Medmerry in West Sussex has seen the building of 7km (four miles) of new sea walls up to 2km inland. By letting the waters in, the Environment Agency says the risk of flooding for hundreds of homes will be reduced. The surrendered land will become a wetland habitat for many species. The sea has long been a threatening presence on the flat land of...

Most U.S. cities have protections for 100-year flood events but some, like Houston, are only prepared for a 50-year flood.

Many coastal redwood trees are as magnificent as they are old. The towering trees - the world's tallest living thing - have long inspired and captivated people, but have been of little use to scientists attempting to use their growth patterns to glean historic climate data. The trees grow too erratically to help with typical climate...
