The Fluxing Landscape

Using historical maps it is possible to trace the changing landscape. A map from 1300, 1800 and 2000 are overlaid to show how the landscape has changed over time. Humanity has been adapting through history to a fragile landscape. The predicted rise in sea levels and coastal erosion allows us to imagine what the landscape will be like in 100 years. This method can illustrate the impact on local communities, towns and farmland lost to the sea. This is speculative and cannot accurately indicate the impact further sea defenses might have or how intervening in a landscape might effect its appearance and form.
