Re-Making the Past is a new exhibition of objects that 'commute between different times and cultures' at Devon Guild of Craftsmen.

Future sea level rises should not restrict new island formation in the Maldives

The continued accumulation of sand within the iconic ring-shaped reefs inside Maldivian atolls could provide a foundation for future island development new research suggests. Islands like the Maldives are considered likely to be the first to feel the effects of climate change induced sea level rise, with future island growth essential to counter the threat of rising sea levels.

The study published in the journal Geology , and carried out by researchers from the University of Exeter in collaboration with the University of Auckland, James Cook University, the National Institute for...
