Shift Happens....
<http://kjpermaculture.blogspot.com/2009/09/shift-happens.html>

JUNEAU, Alaska --- Global warming conjures images of rising seas that threaten coastal areas. But in Juneau, as almost nowhere else in the world, climate change is having the opposite effect: As the glaciers here melt, the land is rising [3 Inches per Year] , causing the sea to retreat.

A few decades ago, large boats could sail regularly along Gastineau Channel between Downtown Juneau and Douglas Island, to Auke Bay, a port about 10 miles to the northwest. Today, much of the channel is exposed mudflat at low tide. "There is so much sediment coming in from the Mendenhall Glacier and the rivers --- it has basically silted in," said Bruce Molnia, a geologist at the United States Geological Survey <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/united_states_geological_survey/index.html?inline=nyt-org> who studies Alaskan glaciers.
