The overall effect is to undermine the resilience of marine and coastal ecosystems, affecting in turn their ability to support coastal livelihoods such as fishing and tourism and their potential role in climate change adaptation and mitigation.
In the meantime, the authors suggest that satellite engineers incorporate the potential for intensification of the inner radiation belt in their radiation mitigation strategies.
The objective is to use space technologies to monitor heritage sites and allow local authorities to identify potential threats, such as land use changes or natural disasters, giving them time to implement mitigation strategies.
