changing with the tides

Product Information

In 2016, Talke and his colleagues analysed how storm surge might change in the Cape Fear River estuary along with the changing tides. They calculated that dredging of the ship channel has effectively worsened the potential damage posed by a Category 5 hurricane and raised the highest possible water levels in Wilmington by 1.8m (5.9ft). The words were so beautiful and I love the writing style as well as how the author shared her insights and feelings through poetry. changing with the tides is a powerful collection of poetry that uses the expression of realization as its main theme. the book is unique in its structure with its alteration of letters and poems. there is also a progression of discouragement to empowerment within the voicing. i found many of Shelby's words to be very relatable and they pulled on my heart strings. there are many styles of poetry and prose used throughout. a very lovely collection. i honestly can easily picture many of the poems being used as wall art, phone wallpaper, quotes, and tattoos. they are just that stunning. <3 If sea level were to rise between 0.5m and 2.1m (1.6-6.9ft) in the delta, then cities in its upstream reaches would see tidal increases between 0.1m and 0.5m (0.3ft and 1.6ft), the scientists found. Add those numbers together and it looks as if water levels could go up between 0.6m and 2.6m (2-8.5ft).

Rather, people are causing these changing tides. Dredging river channels like the Ems or filling in coastal wetlands can trigger shifts. The nature of those shifts is complicated: In some locations the tidal range grows more dramatic, whereas in others it shrinks. Either way, the shifting tides have big implications for hundreds of millions of coastal residents. The Sun causes tides just like the moon does, although they are somewhat smaller. When the earth, moon, and Sun line up—which happens at times of full moon or new moon—the lunar and solar tides reinforce each other, leading to more extreme tides, called spring tides. When lunar and solar tides act against each other, the result is unusually small tides, called neap tides. There is a new moon or a full moon about every two weeks, so that's how often we see large spring tides.The result of the tidal force is a stretching and squashing of Earth. This is what causes the two tidal bulges.

Arrows represent the tidal force. It's what's left over after removing the moon's average gravitational pull on the whole planet from the moon's specific gravitational pull at each location on Earth. The researchers calculated that dredging of the ship channel has effectively worsened the potential damage posed by a Category 5 hurricane and raised the highest possible water levels in Wilmington by 1.8 meters (5.9 feet). And in 2018, when Category 1 Hurricane Florence slammed into Wilmington, water levels did indeed reach a record 1.1 meters (3.6 feet) above high tide.As Earth rotates, the moon's gravity pulls on different parts of our planet. Even though the moon only has about 1/100th the mass of Earth, since it's so close to us, it has enough gravity to move things around. The moon's gravity even pulls on the land, but not enough for anyone to tell (unless they use special, really precise instruments). Because of the tidal force, the water on the side of the moon always wants to bulge out toward the moon. This bulge is what we call a high tide. As your part of the Earth rotates into this bulge of water, you might experience a high tide. In the open ocean, the tidal force of the moon will appear as bulges of water facing the moon whereas around land mass the water can spread out onto land creating tides. Types of tides But those changes also changed the rhythm in which tides ebbed and flowed into the river from the sea. Those shifting tides stirred up sediment from the river bottom and muddied its waters. Over the last 120 years the tidal range — the distance between high and low tide — has quintupled in the Ems estuary. changing with the tides is one of those poetry collections that speaks to those who have always seen softness and strength as synonymous. Shelby's ability to write about emotional trauma with such delicacy is truly remarkable. Her sensitivity comes through in every word—making the reader feel like Shelby isn't only sharing her own personal experiences but is being mindful of the reader's comfort. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is coping with anxiety or looking for some healing words without having to read something heavy. Thank you, Shelby, for striking such a graceful balance with your poetry.” —Marya Layth, author of Driftwood
