The article focuses on rising sea levels, specifically on the east of coast of the US. WIth higher sea levels comes increased flooding and subsequent damage. The article mentions changes in the Gulf Stream, and how those changes affect the East Coast. Ultimately, people that live in these areas need to be prepared as the frequency of severe weather events, especially flooding, increases. This will effect port operations as people are relied upon to monitor and operate the ports. Can the displacement of people be compensated through increased automation?

Article takes a look a worldwide effects of rising sea levels. There seems to be a more drastic effect likely in areas in Northern Sea areas, but all ports to be affected, and since 80% of commerice is shipped, the areas serviced by the ports will be affected.

More on the impact of climate change and sea ports and the cascading effect on the economy. Nature of ports makes them more susceptible to environment changes as a result of climate change--increased intense events and rising sea levels. Author calls for change now .

A flurry of recent announcements and ventures from Sber reflected on MarketScreener are just a few of the ventures that suggest Sber is working hard to establish itself as an international player at the intersection of finance and tech. The agile effort has apparently produced the following results: "product introductions increased more than fourfold, while the average time to market (from idea to implementation) decreased more than sevenfold."

The current problems at the sea ports warrants an even closer look at what's happeining. An article from the Sierra club identifies how ports harm the environment with diesel freighters and equipment. The article is a call to address these matters sooner than later. It also mentions that the port communities are suffering due to exposure to the emissions from operations and that often these communities are lower income families.

Automation is seen as the big drive of change in sea ports of the future. With so many benefits being realized as a result of automation, it seems inevitable. Not only will we see automation but more connectivity of ports with other systems.

Using the chemical signatures found in marine microorganisms, the researchers found that the Arctic Ocean began warming rapidly at the beginning of the last century as warmer and saltier waters flowed in from the Atlantic - a phenomenon called Atlantification - and that this change likely preceded the warming documented by modern instrumental measurements. Since 1900, the ocean temperature has risen by approximately 2 degrees Celsius, while sea ice has retreated and salinity has increased. A number of factors, perhaps some that we still do not understand, make up our complex ecosystem. While climate scientists have made some predictions about what we must do to protect the ecosystem, it is highly likely that we do not understand all of the factors involved, resulting in the recommendations being either too aggressive or too understated.

Talks about rising sea levels, specific east coast and the effect it will have on life as we know it today

Interesting thesis about climate change and ports. The paper discusses the importance of ports to world trade and national security (specificallyf or the US). The US military has recently become more of an expeditionary force rather than occupational, subsequently ports are becoming more important. However, impending climate change threatens the port operations and infrastructure that need to be understood.

THis is an extensive look at seaports and anticipated changes in coming years leading up to 2050. One big factor it mentions is that existing ports will need more space due to increased volumes and climate change factors. More space has to be considered in planning. With more space for the ports to operate, more is likely displaced and that will have an effect on surrounding communities.

Short article that says that ports will need to grow in coming years (next 3 decades) to accomodate growing world trade. A fourfold increase would be considerably more volume than we presently see. The article says that the cost of expanding port capacity will exceed required rising sea level adaptation.

Article talks about the rising sea levels if climate change goes unchecked. It touches on everything from eliminating certain species to ruining many coastal cities around the world. Mentions that there is still time to recover from the current path with the right measures.
