California's valuable remaining salt marshes are disappearing; climate change, with its melting glaciers and warming seas, threatens to drown the remaining coastal marshes out of existence.
California's valuable remaining salt marshes are disappearing. Climate change, with its melting glaciers and warming seas, threatens to drown the remaining coastal marshes out of existence. But now, a pioneering project is offering these marshes a remarkable new chance.Between the land and the sea, salt marshes are the true guardians of our coastline.
They want to try to ensure they don't lose them, and that's why the Hester Marsh Restoration Project exists. 'We've built it up so high, at the line of the king tides and that means it will be resilient for tomorrow and be ready to face quite a bit of sea level rise,' Wasson said.So far, according to Fountain, the project has moved 460,00 cubic yards of soil.

Removal of magnetic spacecraft contamination within extraterrestrial samples easily carried out, researchers sayFor decades, scientists have pondered the mystery of the moon's ancient magnetism. Based on analyses of lunar samples, its now-deceased magnetic field may have been active for more than 1.5 billion years—give or take a billion years. Scientists believe it was generated like the Earth's via a dynamo process, whereby the spinning and churning of conductive liquid metal within a rocky planet's core generates a magnetic field.
