Extreme Coastal Events in the Lagoon Zone of the Burin Peninsula (Newfoundland, Canada)

We are pleased to announce the latest article by Dr. Magdalena Suchora (Department of Geomorphology and Paleogeography, UMCS), published in the journal Science of The Total Environment:

Pleskot K., Cwynar L. C., Kołaczek P., Mroczkowska A., Suchora M., Kowalczyk C., Kokociński M., 2024. Impact of extreme coastal events on a brackish lake on the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada. Science of The Total Environment, 935, 173330. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173330 

The study focuses on the impact of extreme coastal events on a brackish lagoon on the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada. The article presents a detailed analysis of the environmental changes induced by such events and their consequences for the lagoon ecosystem.

The study's findings are particularly significant in the context of global climate change, which is leading to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The analysis highlights how these events affect coastal ecosystems, which is crucial for the management and protection of such areas.

The authors emphasize that understanding these processes is essential for developing effective adaptation strategies that can help minimize the negative impacts of climate change on coastal environments.
