Atafona Coastal Erosion Aftermath - Brazil

This photo taken on October 4, 2025 shows a beach eroded by ocean waves in Atafona, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. In recent years, Atafona, a coastal town in northern Rio de Janeiro state, has been gradually swallowed by the sea due to severe coastal erosion, with houses collapsing and residents forced to relocate.

Glacial forces at the edge of Antarctica

Glacial forces at the edge of Antarctica

Handout photo show Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 17 March 2025, shows the flow of the David Glacier as it feeds into the Drygalski Ice Tongue in East Antarctica. Stretching 90 km into the Ross Sea, the ice tongue is one of the largest floating ice extensions in Antarctica. The linear structure of the ice tongue reveals its dynamic forward movement over time, shaped by internal flow and ocean interaction. Ice tongues like this change in size and shape over time, reshaped by calving events, waves and storms. Copernicus delivers key data for tracking glacier dynamics and calving events in remote areas. Regular monitoring supports climate research, helping scientists assess how Antarctic ice loss contributes to global sea-level rise. Drygalski Ice Tongue, Antartica on March 17, 2025.
