Climate Change in Kivalina, Alaska
... Because of the rate of beach erosion, the area occupied by Kivalina is much smaller today than it was even a decade ago. Since 1952, there has been a loss of over 19 acres in the Kivalina area with an average loss of 10-35 feet along the Chukchi coastline (NOAA, 2004). Despite this loss of land, the ...
