Woman stands next to the edge of collapsing coastal cliffs at Aldbrough on Yorkshires East Coast, UK. She is stood in the location where her house used to be, before being evacuated, as the house was dangerously close to the edge. The coast is composed of soft boulder clays, very vulnerable to coastal erosion. This section of coast has been eroding since Roman times, with many villages having disappeared into the sea, and is the fastest eroding coast in Europe. Climate change is speeding up the erosion, with sea level rise, increased stormy weather and increased heavy rainfall events, all playing their part.
