Seawalls/ hard structures:70%
Mangrove/mudflat:16%
Sandy beaches:12%
Rocky shores:1%
These are Singapore’s mosaic coastlines, and all need diff protection fr erosion & rising sea levels.

Good news — we are a part of the National Sea Level Programme. Our group will investigate the processes driving relative sea-level change in this region @SeaLevelNTU @EOS_SG @CoastalLabNTU @ScienceNTU https://t.co/x42lCD6A6e
"If an ice sheet melts, its gravitational attraction decreases and sea levels around it can go down. Conversely, regions far from a melting ice sheet, such as Singapore, will see a rise in sea level greater than the global average," says Prof Ben Horton

New paper on RSL on the Sunda Shelf using coral microatolls from Xiu Wen Wan and colleagues. Interesting discussion of the challenges using these compared with other recent microatoll-based reconstructions that are inferred to be severely eroded https://t.co/ibJjLY3aD8
The Earth lost a staggering 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. While the melting of ice bodies may occur far from Southeast Asia, they can affect us – but how? @NTU_ASE PhD student @fangyi2110 tells us more.

“You cannot put a sea wall everywhere. The other option is to try and live with sea-level rise. So this is where the marshes come in, they protect from erosion, they’ll absorb coastal waves.” - Professor Benjamin Horton @SeaLevelNTU #ClimateChange https://t.co/xNXg3Fwb7J
Salt-marsh foraminifera stand the test as robust indicators of relative sea levels, despite spatial and temporal variability seen in modern foraminifera @SeaLevelNTU#foraminifera#sealevel

“Asia-Pacific is already the world’s most disaster-prone region. Unless we act fast, the climate crisis will make catastrophe a way of life for hundreds of millions of people in the region” - Professor Horton @SeaLevelNTU Full Article here: https://t.co/9r4ZorKon7
PRESS RELEASE: Record temperatures and #Covid19 are symptoms of planetary fever. Our analysis shows a dramatic 70% decline in online conversations about the climate globally. It's time we listen to our children and put the climate crisis back on the agenda https://t.co/8dkUJYJOPV
Mangroves offer important #ecosystem services and help combat #ClimateChange. “Projects and policies designed to use coastal ecosystems to reduce vulnerability can also achieve other societal, environmental, and economic goals.” - Prof Horton @SeaLevelNTU
