Last summer, this observation deck had 20 feet of sand behind it. Today, it’s on the beach—destroyed thanks to extreme weather & rising water levels. #QuigleyClimateTour @IndianaDunesNPSpic.twitter.com/xhFMHZ6cWm

Thanks for asking! Typically, cycles of water levels in the #GreatLakes run about 20 years, leading to predictable & safe erosion that helps maintain the dunes. However, in the last 5 years, we’ve seen historic low lake levels & near historic highs. #QuigleyClimateTour

These dramatic swings cause extreme erosion, damaging and challenging all kinds of species living along the
#GreatLakes. It’s not that the lakes are higher; it’s how quickly they bounce from high to low and supercharge existing cycles.#QuigleyClimateTourThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
