Deadly flash floods devastated Libya’s coastal city of Derna in September 2023. Coastal communities need to prepare for simultaneous extreme weather events as heat waves increasingly overlap with surges in sea levels due to climate change, a study published on Thursday warned. Extreme heat and sea levels are typically monitored and studied individually but researchers

There, equatorward winds cause near-surface water to move away from the coast. This brings cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths to the surface, inducing the

These changes in the hatch cycle and early growth patterns persisted in years following the marine heat waves
