Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m curious about that computer project of sea-level rises. Why is it streaks, rather than concentric curves? Interference from islands and sea mounts, prevailing currents, something else?
I was at Chiloé Island 2 weeks ago. The people still remembered the 1960 quake and tsunami that obliterated entire villages of the island. Hope everything is OK for them.
