Massive permafrost rock slide under a warming polythermal glacier deciphered through mechanical modeling (Bliggspitze, Austria) by F. Pfluger, S. Weber, S. Weber, J. Steinhauser, C. Zangerl, C. Fey, J. Fürst, M. Krautblatter

“…To challenge this hypothesis, we investigated the 3.9 to <span class="inline-formula">4.3×10⁶</span> m<span class="inline-formula">³</span> rock slide at Bliggspitze on 29 June 2007, which detached from a north-exposed, glacier-covered rock slope at <span class="inline-formula">3200</span> m above sea level. We (a) have analyzed the glacier transition since 1971 using aerial photographs coincident to meteorological data; (b) compared 2013–2016 ground surface temperature measurements to infer permafrost-prone and cold glacier thermal conditions; (c) categorized springs mapped in summer 2001/2012 according to geomorphological features and mineralization; (d) performed electrical resistivity tomography subsequent to failure on the destabilized rock flank in 2009; (e) conducted rock testing in frozen and unfrozen conditions; and (f) modeled the mechanical impact of hydrostatic pressure, degradation of permafrost, and glacier retreat in a universal distinct element code (UDEC). …”

Shipwreck Architecture by Simon Weir, Sara Rich

“…This trajectory of ideas is then projected into a creative project: a speculative history of shipwreck architecture where the cutting edge of biological research is projected into a technological future when the distant aims of today’s technology are ancient history: when the first generations of grown buildings are preserved as ruins, when giant decommissioned carbon-capture factories drift like ghost ships across lakes of their inky waste, when people remember when shipwrecks caused by the hazards of rising sea levels were later exposed by sinking sea levels and converted into hotels and theatres, and finally, when these theatrical memories provoke such nostalgia that shipwreck architecture would be replicated and fabricated. …”

Paysage et risques naturels. Quelles perspectives pour l’adaptation du littoral au changement climatique ? by Charlotte Gustave Huteau

“…On coastal areas, the landscape is likely to be impacted by erosion and rising sea levels.This raises the issue of how this concept of landscape can be used to convert some territories at risk, particularly to make certain measures more acceptable for the populations, or to propose innovative solutions.It appears that the notion of risk, and of landscape, have many connections that would be interesting to exploit in order to further consider the landscape in this context. …”

Ho Chi Minh Ville, des inondations à la submersion… by Georges Vachaud, Nicolas Gratiot, Tien Dung Tran Ngoc

“…Most of the mega-cities in South-East Asia located on the coast are subject to both very strong demographic growth and increased flood risks resulting from a combination of poorly controlled urban development, increased monsoon rainfall intensity, rising sea levels and subsidence. Ho Chi Minh City is a typical example of this situation, which could lead in the medium to short term to the submergence of the majority of recent districts built on former marshland or rice fields. …”
