Using historical aerial photography and satellite images this study presents the first quantitative analysis of physical changes in 27 atoll islands in the central Pacific over a 19 to 61\u00a0yr period. This period of analysis corresponds with instrumental records that show a rate of sea-level rise of 2.0\u00a0mm yr<sup>\u2212\u00a01<\/sup> in the Pacific. Results show that 86% of islands remained stable (43%) or increased in area (43%) over the timeframe of analysis. Largest decadal rates of increase in island area range between 0.1 to 5.6\u00a0ha. Only 14% of study islands exhibited a net reduction in island area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0921818110001013?via%3Dihub Abstract Low-lying atoll islands are widely perceived to erode in response to measured and future sea-level rise.
