This is an update to the presentation, "Shoreline Change in Urban Massachusetts, Time for Retreat?"
Inland property owners observe significant premiums in home values due to the existence of beaches for recreation in front of proximate waterfront properties. As erosion occurs, waterfront property owners seek to protect their properties with hard structures (seawalls, revetments) often waterfront property owners have the legal right to do this.
A negotiated solution? “In theory,” to protect their own home values, inland property owners could pay waterfront property owners to forego hard structural protections or to replenish sand on the beach.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Abstract ID# 408
Accelerated Erosion and Sea Level Rise, The Case for Adaptive Policies
Lisa Granquist, Law & Public Policy
Abstract
50 years of erosion in a matter of months?
50 years of sea level rise in 2 days?
Do coastal zone management policies designed to respond to long term
processes adequately and fairly address situations
of accelerated erosion and sea level rise?
Under what conditions do accelerated erosion occur?
Type I cases: History of stability with periods of accelerated erosion
or sea level rise returning to stability.
Pleasant Bay in Cape Cod & Siasconset Beach on Nantucket Island.
Type 2 cases: Accelerated cycles of erosion or sea level rise
returning to historical cycles of accretion.
Plum Island, Mass.
In these cases of short and mid-term cyclic processes,
adaptive policies are proposed that would allow more aggressive actions
that might be suitable to save existing structures and reduce property loss
and subsequent litigation while fully protecting resource values.
Adaptive Policy Options
Regulatory Application Protection Resiliency
Zoning variances Stream-line process for property
owners and coastal managers
during accelerated events
Wetlands resource areas Incorporate provisions for
expansion into private property
during accelerated events.
Living shoreline1 Incorporate in Type I and II areas
Rolling easements Incorporate in Type I areas
and possibly in Type II areas
Temporary movable emergency
structures
Allowable during identified accelerated events.
Return to shoreline stability or historical accretion rates
triggers removal of structures.
Floating breakwaters
offshore shore parallel
Pre-cast concrete groins
shore perpendicular
Geo-textile tubes
onshore shore parallel or
perpendicular

Type 2
Accelerated cycles of erosion or sea level rise,
returning to historical cycles of accretion.
In Type I cases: Accelerated events have clear beginning, middle, and end
stages. For example, around Pleasant Bay and its enclosing barrier spit, Nauset
Beach, changes in tides have been identified and shoals have been stable in
the past. Recently-formed tidal inlets on Nauset Beach have temporarily
increased the tide range by up to 0.3 m.
Historical analyses show that this inlet will migrate south or close.3,4

In the Type 2 case:
At Plum Island, shifting off-shore bars, not instantaneous sea level rise, caused
the accelerated erosion events. Specific locations experienced rapid isolated
short-term increases in erosion rate. There is evidence that the trend will
return to its historical rate. Acknowledgement to my advisers
