The floods are getting worse in Tuvalu. As scientists argue over climate change and struggle to measure rising seas, Samir S. Patel meets the locals of this tiny island nation.The cruel seaThe islands of Tuvalu, formerly the Ellice Islands, lie just a few metres above sea level in the Pacific Ocean midway between Hawaii and Australia. This low elevation puts the 11,000 Tuvaluans in the front line in the event of a rise in sea level that could come with climate change. In 2000 Tuvalu joined the…

Vulnerable Islands: Climate Change, Tectonic Change, and Changing Livelihoods in the Western Pacific

Small Pacific islands, especially atolls, have been widely argued to be in the forefront of climate change. Recent degradation of island environments has primarily been attributed to the impact of…

Destruction or persistence of coral atoll islands in the face of 20th and 21st century sea‐level rise?

The future of low‐lying reef islands has been the subject of international concern, scientific debate, and media interest in the last decade. As a result of sea‐level rise, atoll islands are expected…
