Arctic coasts predicted to erode

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 14 February 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01286-9

Increasing Arctic temperatures accelerate coastal erosion, threatening coastal communities and infrastructure, and adding carbon to the atmosphere. Research now predicts that Arctic coastal erosion on the pan-Arctic scale will exceed its historical range of variability and increase two to three times by the end of the century.
