There have been many Dredd Blog series containing information about seaports (Seaports With Sea Level Change, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35).
I began that series with this:
"If you peruse the seaports of civilization and if you are like me, you will become concerned about civilization's ability to change all of these seaports to adapt to changing sea levels and coastal storms."
(ibid). One very interesting issue concerning the sea level changes in that series (example: Graph A-C) is that in the graphs of today's appendices we can see that the patterns of sea level change at seaports in that series looks like today's graphs of the cargo volumes of the top 50 seaports (i.e. both fall and rise happen to both seaport volume change and seaport sea level change).
The "take-home" difference is that both sea level rise and sea level fall are a danger to seaports, but volume fall (decrease) is a danger but volume rise (increase) is not.
Today's appendices contain graphs of the volume of seaports that have both volume decrease and volume increase of the top 50 seaports.
They are alphabetized by country name (Appendix a-c, Appendix d-g, Appendix h-l, Appendix m-o, Appendix p-t, Appendix u-z) with one exception (the average volume of all 50 is in appendix u-z under "Various").
To top it off, the blues of the ocean is a concept best explained in the musical video below.
The next post in this series is here.
