…. 13,000 archaeological sites in southeastern US.
"To estimate the impact of sea-level rise on archaeological sites, the authors of the present study analyzed data from the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA). DINAA aggregates archaeological and historical data sets developed over the past century from numerous sources, providing the public and research communities with a uniquely comprehensive window into human settlement.
Just in the remainder of this century, if projected trends in sea-level rise continue, the researchers predict that over 13,000 recorded archaeological sites in the southeast alone may be submerged with a 1 m rise in sea-level, including over 1,000 listed on the National Register of Historic Places as important cultural properties. Many more sites and structures that have not yet been recorded will also be lost…."

That should keep looters away from them. |

Moral of the story(if true) it sucks to be at sea level. VIVA DOGGERLAND! |

(reaches for bottle of Scotch) Pale amber liquid take my pain away. |

Save me some of the single malt, Martin. Mindless incantations have replaced intelligent discussion. |

Mindless incantations have replaced intelligent discussion. As if the deniers have anything better to contribute… Other than DOGGERLAND (sheesh…) And make mine a nice, quality Merlot, thank you… (Although a nice, single malt scotch wouldn't be bad, either). |

No attacks on AGW religion are allowed. |

No attacks on AGW religion are allowed. Just to get this straight. AGW is a theory that has been built on scientifically established data and facts. Denial is one's beliefs regardless of the facts. Religion is founded on belief rather than data and facts. Practically speaking if/when the sea levels rise that high, we're going to have a lot more important things to worry about than archaeological sites. |

I had my self a BIG glass of Laphroaig last night. So I'm good. |

Succinctly stated, Mandt2. Vince, for your edification: link link link I actually had some of this unpronounceable beauty last night at a Christmas get together at my brother in laws. Peaty, smokey goodness. link It too kills the stupid. Shame at this time of the year we can't get together and have a toast. And Charlie12, I also like a good Merlot. I had a few delicious ones from the Willamette Valley a while back. |

Well, beyond cheering for the Gators and enjoying a 20% royalty cut from the sale of Gatorade, it seems the University of Florida does some science too. Seas rose in the southeastern US between 2011 and 2015 by more than six times the global average sea level rise that is already happening due to human-induced global warming, new research shows. The combined effects of El Niņo (ENSO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), both of which are naturally occurring climate processes, drove this recent sea level rise hot spot, according to the study. link Arnoldo Valle-Levinson, Andrea Dutton, Jonathan B.
