Hurricanes

Þorvarður Árnason and Greg Garrard reflect on the challenges of representing unsustainable carbon-dioxide emissions. Global warming and climate change are some of the best-known effects, of many, on environments around the world due to societies’ continued unsustainable burning of fossil fuels for their energy needs. Such effects are often difficult to represent in efforts to communicate scientific findings or policy priorities on climate change.

Due to climate change, threats to cultural heritage along coastal regions are imminent. Whole communities in some cases are being claimed by the sea and significant archaeological sites we never knew existed before are being wiped away before they can even be documented.
