Scientists develop tool which can predict coastal erosion and recovery in extreme storms
Coastal scientists at the University of Plymouth and University of New South Wales have developed a computerised model which goes some way to answering their subject's 'holy grail' -- how to use existing data to confidently forecast annual coastal erosion and accretion.
How much storm water is LA catching?
In this rainy year, enough water to serve more than a half-million people has already been saved to groundwater storage. But more could be saved
Indian scientists develop new sensor to measure sea surface temperatures
Indian scientists develop a new sensor to measure sea surface temperature. There are many types of drifting buoys with different sensors, buy most of them have their sensors just below the water...

How Copenhagen Is Preparing For The Next Monster Storm
Copenhagen isn’t built to handle the extreme weather it’s already experiencing. So designers are tossing out traditional ideas of city sewers and finding new, creative ways to redirect storm water.
WHOI Research Finds Link Between Coastal Sea Level and River Outflow
WOODS HOLE – Researchers with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution say that river outflow might play a role in sea level change. A WHOI study explored decades of tidal and river level data from…
How Technology Can Help Cities Make Better Use of Storm Water
More than half the world’s population lives in metropolitan centers. The built environment of a city is very different from that of rural and natural areas. When it rains over a rural landscape, much of the rainwater sinks into the ground or is evaporated or transpirated by trees, crops and other plants.
When water use spikes with extreme heat, so do water bills
Water use correlates to the weather. Just the hint of a rain cloud and water use drops. When it is hot and dry, water use rises. And when it is extremely hot, water use spikes.
