Atoll islands show no widespread physical destabilization from sea-level rise (2018)

- gnabgib 2y ago(2018) Article title: A global assessment of atoll island planform changes over the past decades
- squircle 2y agoWould be relevant to revisit? Systems lag. Science is a process.
- jnord 2y agoFrom the article: "...88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, while only 11.4% contracted...". That is still 1 out of every 10 islands in 2018 that have so far shrunk due to sea-level rise.

- dang 2y agoYou've been posting quite a few submissions with rewritten/editorialized titles. Can you please not do that? It's against this site guideline: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Of course, when a title is misleading or linkbait, then you should rewrite it (preferably using a representative phrase from the article itself, such as a subtitle). But in a case like this, for example, the original title "A global assessment of atoll island planform changes over the past decades" is perfectly fine, neither misleading nor clickbait, so that's what the guideline would ask you to use. I hope that makes sense!
- therabbithole 2y agoI hadn’t realised I was (nearly always) meant to use original titles. It does make sense, thank you for the civil and clear explanation. I’ll take it into account.
- dang 2y agoAppreciated!
