Impact: The Effect of Climate Change on Coastlines

By Alex MacLean

Climate change-effects on the landscape

The rise in sea level is a visible and
remorseless indicator of global warming, the consequences of which can
be experienced worldwide - in contrast to other effects of climate
change that are not yet noticeable at a larger scale.

The book
illustrates, in an impressive way, the ecological, commercial, and
social impact associated with the rise in sea levels, taking the
examples of the American East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico: the author
has documented this region from his Cessna between 2005 and 2018 using
large-format aerial photography. The pictures illustrate the different
conditions of the areas documented at different times of the year,
before and after major weather events, and thereby provide evidence of
how dramatically the geography and landscape are altered due to climate
change.
